The Apple company, unlike its rivals, leading the competition in several markets at once. Including – in the market of electronic books, where live such diehards as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Yesterday, the network appeared rumors alleging that Apple intends to buy is the largest American publisher.
Report to the seers site Boy Genius Report:
For information on our unacknowledged source inside Apple are discussions on the possible acquisition of Barnes & Noble. This source also said that iTunes will be released on 11 September, along with iOS 5 and iCloud, and that it will be able to read books on your computer, and the acquisition and taking books to rent.
Analysts on Wall Street were not long in coming. Brian Marshall of the investment firm Gleacher & Co. expressed doubt that such a course of events is possible. Not that the publisher was too tough – Barnes & Noble capitalization is estimated at $ 1 billion against $ 76 billion in the accounts of Apple. But when it comes to that, they need not to buy successful Barnes & Noble, but bankrupt Borders Group. In an active of Borders about 400 bookstores, most of which will be closed soon.
It seems that this time BGR far from the truth. But the reader with built-in iTunes – it is much more interesting.
