Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Borders  are mainstream retailers -  and they are the leaders in the e-book revolution

wraith808:
That is my point.  It is becoming mainstream as mainstream retailers get into the game.  The numbers were too big for them to ignore.  Or did you mean something by stating who the mainstream retailers are?  e-books have been around for a loooong time without them as players.  Amazon decided to get into it with the Kindle.  B&N bought Fictionwise/eReader and leveraged them with the nook.  Borders is coming along late to the game, and it still has yet to be seen what their presence will do to the balance.  They weren't the leaders, they just elbowed their way into the game when they saw that the market was ripe for their picking.
