What is the deal with all the exclusive trade pb deals? And is the Kobo Vox even a player at this point? Honestly, I didn’t even know it survived Borders going under (it was their e-reader of choice).
Are each of the manufacturers going to square off with a publisher? Is Bluewater going to sign an exclusivity tpb deal with LG?
