So.. Buying at wholesale prices and *maybe* losing some money on a few sales is reason to destroy a company? Is that what you're saying the BPHs had planned? So when B&N marks down their paper books, also purchased at wholesale, that's fine, but Amazon is somehow a monopolistic, evil corporation for doing exactly the same thing? Is that right?

And once again, unless you have inside information, which I seriously doubt, you have *no* idea what the BPHs had in mind when the instituted Agency pricing other than to save their precious paper sales (which they pretty much admitted to).
