I was reading the fine print on the B&N Terms & Conditions and found this statement which really surprised me.

K. Retail Store Privileges. You acknowledge and agree that Barnes & Noble may make available to customers of retail stores operated by Barnes & Noble, its affiliates, distributors, licensees and partners one hundred percent (100%) of your eBook for viewing while within the reach of such retail stores’ wireless networks.

I don't want to start a long thread about contract clauses of KDP and all the others - that's not the intention. But this clause isn't in the other companies' contracts and quite frankly seems ridiculous. Why sell the book if it's going to be exploited under a clause? I find it hard to believe that anyone would go along with it.
