So, I imagine the answer is pretty simple, but is there any reason Amazon or B&N couldn't do this to each other? It's a bit like TMobile offering to give you a remarkable deal if you come in with an unlocked AT&T phone.
It could be awfully expensive for to do this for a person like me, who's bought well over a thousand books from Amazon. Let's say the average price of a book is $5 - do you think they'd shell out $5k to persuade me to buy a reader?
