So, perhaps B&N is doing essentially the same thing. Grabbing the IT part of the equation in order to improve their core site rather than re-invent the wheel, just by the company which already makes them.
That was my opinion also when I learned that BN bought FW-but since they don't seem to have used that IT expertise in building the BN ebook store, I'm not really sure what they're doing.
