Some are making money from it on their pay books. The one thing it does is increase your visibility. The jury is still out about how good it is for everyone who joins.<br /><br />Morgan Mandel<br />http://morganmandel.blogspot.comMorgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-56359250389383750362012-02-09T20:20:56.469-06:002012-02-09T20:20:56.469-06:00I was traveling ouf the country and missed the BN....I was traveling ouf the country and missed the BN.com announcement.

It's certainly reasonable from B&N's point of view, since carrying them would strengthen one of its competitors. I don't think it really affects the ebooks business, since Kindle is its own format and Nook uses epub. That's why publishing your book as an ebook, as I did recently with my mystery TAINTED SOULS, can put you in formatting hell for a little while.<br /><br />I think the publishing industry is changing so quickly that no one can really foresee its future. Despite furthering the digitalization of books by publishing an ebook, I desperately hope the printed book has a long future ahead of it.Steven J.
