It's quite likely that you are wrong, since you've been wrong in just about everything you've written in this thread so far. You've also been quick to cast aspersions on B&N when you don't actually have the facts. None of us does. From the facts that
are available, however, it seems increasingly unlikely that B&N did anything even remotely improper and that the suit is simply a coattail money grab on the part of Spring Design. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
You have the terms of the lawsuit wrong, as well. It does not state that "the tech was stolen".
Pre-orders are not uncommon, especially with high-demand releases going into the holiday buying season. In fact, there's a rather recent history of it in this particular industry.
The fact that you frequently use the term
vaporware in way that no one else does doesn't make your definition prevail. Just because people in your circles call a goat a horse doesn't mean the critter can compete in
dressage.
