Its a nice summary of where things stand.
Thanks for the tip.
One think I noticed; they refer to "125 million iTunes customers" as the reason the BPHs got in bed with Apple and bit on the "Agency Model" price-fixing scheme.

If that is accurate, somebody is in for a rude shock.

It does accurately highlight why brick and mortar stores are more likely an anchor on B&N and Borders than an asset to their book sales.
