The over/under for when AMZN files its first lawsuit in connection with this aquisition is 6 months. Place your bets

b&n buys ingraham. if amzn is successful then b&n will be successful, too. b&n looks to be the more valuable company. excellent, excellent strategic move on the part of b&n.

Awesome news. I guess it was some truth to the rumour earlier!

Now here is a reasonable strategy. Ingram increase the price to both BKS and AMZN, that way they can't be accused of giving BKS favorable price, but the profits will still lie within BKS but on the Ingram side. LOL

This should be bad news for AMZN!
