At some point the B&N corporate attorney will ask the question if it isn't just cheaper in the long run to buy out the Alex device, even it they can substantiate their claim. An injunctions HURTS a company every day it's in effect. Of course, if they do negotiate a settlement with Alex designs to make it version 2 or such, you know who will pay for the added cost of that settlement (can you say B&N customers; pbook and ebook).
