While I am not pleased with either party, I say this is the kick in the pants Macmillan needed to get off their complacent corporate butts and distribute their author's titles to retail outlets BESIDES Amazon. Donna Andrews, a Macmillan author that I'm a huge fan of, up until this week was Amazon only. Now she's available at B&N. I think there are two authors left on my wishlist that are still Amazon only, and published by Macmillan.
I hope the rest of the publishers take note and start wider distribution, now that they see how easy it is for an outlet to pull their titles.
EDIT: Yes, I know that's lousy grammar.
