Barnes & Noble has decided not to stock books published by Amazon in their physical stores, cutting the publisher off from the country’s largest network of bookstores.
Bloomberg Businessweek senior reporter Brad Stonebroke the news, calling it “a declaration of war.” However, the bookseller will offer Amazon titles in their online store. Last week, Amazon revealed that Houghton Mifflin Harcourt will distribute print books from Amazon Publishing.
