- jonknee 16y agoPerhaps the publishers gave B&N a different license agreement to encourage competition? That happened with Apple and the iTunes Store and it's a pretty strong parallel (one company with the bulk of sales in a whole category).
- kyleslattery 16y agoThough, if I'm not mistaken, the nook's sharing rules are severely limited: you can only borrow for 2 weeks, and you can only lend the book once.
