July 28th, 2011 · 9 Comments · ebookstore news, opinion
That’s what Boy Genius Report have claimed they were told, but I have my doubts. Jonathan over at BGR is reporting that: We received a tip from an unproven source claiming to have knowledge of discussions within Apple to possibly purchase Barnes & Noble.
