There you go dumping your harsh cold reality on my pastel colored fantasy land!

Still though, if B&N can't compete with Amazon on ease of use, selling 'cross platform' e-books might be something to look into.

Trumpeting that the books are DRM free probably wouldn't increase their sales. I wonder what the drop in e-book sales has been since B&N changed their DRM last September-ish?
