Probably - but I think that was itself symptomatic of the fact that they Didn't Get the Internet.

I wanted to affiliate with them, back when - I always preferred them to B&N and Amazon was still nearly unknown - but couldn't. I didn't expect it to bring down their bricks and mortar stores, but I'm not surprised.
