In response to a deal struck between Amazon and DC, making select DC titles exclusively available on the Kindle, B&N has pulled some of their books from their shelves. B&N has a promise to its customers that if a book is available on their shelves, it is also available on their E-reader. Since DC struck the exclusive deal Barnes and Noble have begun pulling their books to keep their promise. ”To sell and promote the physical book in our store showrooms and not have the e-book available for sale would undermine our promise to Barnes & Noble customers to make available any book, anywhere, anytime.” says J’onn J’onzz, an exec of Barnes and Noble via Engadget. Is this a misstep on DC or Barnes and Nobles part?
