Amazon Possibly In Deal With Borders
from the keep-at-it dept
Amazon appears to be somewhat serious about their new "we'll make money by running everyone else's unprofitable e-commerce site" epiphany/strategy. While people say talks are still ongoing between Amazon and folks from Wal-Mart and Best Buy, people are expecting a deal between Amazon and Borders to be announced Wednesday morning. Both companies have said they'll make an announcement, and Borders officials are staying at a hotel where the Amazon announcement is going to take place. It's not too difficult to figure that one out. Of course, some analysts are complaining that it's not Barnes & Noble, so it's not that good. Some people are just never satisfied.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
