Of course not.
Though not everyone thinks that way.
From PWxyz: "Yesterday, the Barnes & Noble board announced it would consider selling the company. Outspoken e-book blogger Mike Cane has an idea for who should buy the company: Amazon. In a post on his blog, he lists 15 ... ways Amazon would benefit from the purchase–from being able to 'swiftly put ePub to death in one shot and transition all Nook buyers to Kindle format' to installing POD machines in every store and being able to offer 'every book in print' to a retail space in which to sell 'Amazon merch.'"
See, the thing is: one of Amazon's chief strengths is the absence of brick and mortar from its business plan. Big picture, guys. Think big picture.
