I don't think thy even care about the client list! When FW bought eReader, thy started sending me both BOTH newsletters (right when they killed the eReader newsletter discout and launched Rewards - the equivalent of Buywise). But I have never received a B&N contact. Which is just Marketing 101 failure.

I suspect it is a matter of resources. They bought FW for the eReader format and all those staff are busy launching and supportig the nook/B&N reader apps. No time to clean up the Agency mess on 3 separate catalogs. Not to mention I bet they'd have to cut 3 sparate contracts with each of the Big 5. Just lawyers fees alone probably killed that idea...
