You've gotten that all wrong. B&N bought Fictionwise for their eReader DRM. Fictionwise ran as normal from when B&N bought them until agency screwed them over. They were doing well before agency. Selling to B&N was not because they were doing poorly. It's beause B&N offered them enough money and allowed them to continue with business as normal. This was not about the customer base. It was for the DRM.
Again, you've gotten it all wrong.
