Amazon has typically refused to acquire any company that would expose it to nationwide (or even Californian) sales tax.

- frossie 16y agoAgreed, but to my confusion Amazon has been very aggressive in competing with B&N. Every price drop of the Kindle in the last 9 months has seemingly been in response to a price drop of the Nook (B&N's e-reader). Given that B&N is like a gnat on Amazon's elephant, I haven't been able to figure out what is going on. So it wouldn't surprise me if Amazon somehow got involved here, perhaps in a way that would avoid the sales tax issue.
