- 1123581321 7y agoThat would be good for B&N, but that has to cross some antitrust line for Amazon. They are so close to crossing 50% market share of paperbacks already. I wasn’t able to find figures on B&N market share, but I could see them pushing hardcover close to majority in the US as well. https://www.statista.com/statistics/534111/amazon-book-market-share-usa/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/534111/amazon-book-marke...
- Rapzid 7y agoAmazon really sucks if you are trying to buy a physically nice book these days. I've had to make so many returns this year. Most recently after waiting almost 2 months for my hardcover "On The Origin of Species", it has a box cutter cut on the front cover :S A physical presence would be great for inspecting and purchasing hardcover if quality matters. Amazon doesn't seem to care much what condition they arrive at your house in.
