At that point, you'd be cutting off your nose to spite your face. If B&N were regularly able to sell ebooks 'massively' cheaper than Amazon, I'd still be buying ebooks from them. So long as I'm able to import and de-DRM their books (which so far I can with the Win10 Nook app), not buying books where they're cheapest would seem foolish.

Of course, agency pricing says this will never happen.

And that right there is the truth of things. But it would be nice to see the Nook division turn around.
