Barnes & Noble Acquires Fictionwise (MediaBistro Galleycat)

<Barnes & Noble Acquires Fictionwise
From: MediaBistro Galleycat

Bookseller Barnes & Noble announced that it has purchased the e-book retailer Fictionwise for $15.7 million in cash today.

Awesome, huh, do they really think this will help them. Well anyways, hope they do well with it, I like B&N as far as I like any major in the book business. They are not a nice dusty dimly lit book nook with an old man with round rimmed glasses, but not to bad either, all things considered.

I don't know much about Fictionwise, but when I figure them out, I will report more.
