They can try. But somehow, I think that publishers - at least for their big mass-market sellers, your Stephen Kings and J.K. Rowlings - are seeing more sales through Wal-Mart and Target than through traditional bookstores. And Wal-Mart and Target - especially Wal-Mart - will never sit still for it. It's because of their ability to discount that they can push so many copies.

Maybe I'm off-base; does anybody have stats on the breakdown of sales volume vs. sales venue?
