They're struggling to compete both high and low. The iPad is pressuring them to put out a product that can use Amazon's VOD while BN is pressuring them to put out a device with a price that competes with the nook which has partnered with Netflix.
I doubt Netflix has any interest promoting either iTunes or Amazon services. It would be as stupid as Borders allowing Amazon to run their website. Hopefully this creates a nice trifecta of choice that benefits everyone.

- elliottcarlson 15y agoAh, indeed, I was wrong - B&N purchased the brand and customer list - the merger was something that was rumored, but never happened.
