Books-A-Million Joins B&N In Pulling DC’s Kindle-Only Books

Calvin Reid has the story over at PW: Books-A-Million is the second largest retail chain now. I think this is one of those things where the public stances are more interesting than the actual damage. From DC's perspective, I think it will probably be an overall good to have the heat of the Kindle announcement and the sales from that device over this holiday season than it will be to have their books on the shelves of these bookstores. From the perspective of the bookstores, it's a shot across the bow of any company thinking of following DC's lead with a book or line that might be more important -- as in newer -- than some stalwart DC regulars are going to be.
