Dr Koltron's Faux Medical Help

Barnes & Noble pulls every graphic novel exclusive to Kindle Fire

Uncool, guys. Uncool.

cnnmoneytech:

From Amazon.com

When Amazon unveiled the Kindle Fire last week, it was announced DC Comics (part of CNN’s parent company Time Warner) would be providing exclusive digital graphic novels and collections to the device. Including legendary stories like Watchmen & and Sandman.

Well, now Barnes…

So DC makes a deal to only sell comics on the Amazon Kindle app from a giant list including Batman, Fables, Sandman and more.

In response, Barnes and Noble who has the Nook has made an official order to take those books off of the shelves at their physical stores.

So essentially, BnN didn’t get invited to a party and now they are hiding their toys. Big ups to local comic shops and Amazon for getting more business.

Anonymous asked: Yo, when I was like 10 I repeated something I heard about "political correctness" to my mom. She told me that whenever I hear the phrase "politically correct" I should mentally replace it with "polite" and see if it makes the speaker sound like a jerk. It totally works (and, surprise, they always sound like jerks). Props to my savvy mom.

Props to your savvy mom.
