I would believe they will be in line with those on fictionwise, which are not, in my opinion, too high...

If you'd be so kind as to point us into that particular piece of info? I can't seem to find it.

I fail to see why that would be so, especially in a brick-and-mortar company with such an outstanding trajectory as B&N is. Besides, Nook will support the ePub format, which is open standard. It offers, in my view, much more flexibility than the propietary format of Amazon. Besides, as a product, it is much more attractive

And that, my friend, is In My Humble Opinion
