I thought they were suppose to partner with Barnes and Noble so this comes as a huge surprise to me. I don't know that it is the kiss of death but it does not make a ton of sense to me.
At one point in time BN sold the Sony. That is where I first saw an e-reader and got interested in the idea. Granted, it was not well marketed and I ended up with a Kindle. My point? BN moved from selling the Sony to its own device. Perhaps Waterstone is working on something of its own and this is meant as a stop gap.
It still does not make sense to me. Unless this means that Waterstones will start carrying Mobi files and can sell books that can be read on the Kindle. Otherwise people are going to shop for their e-books from Amazon.
