Welcome to another exciting edition of the Good e-Reader Roundtable with Michael and Peter. Today on the show the two fellows talk about the recent firings Barnes and Noble made last week, where 1,800 people were let go. Walmart and Kobo struck a deal where audiobooks and ebooks would be sold on the Walmart website and Kobo e-readers would be available in all US stores. Dual screen e-readers have been around for awhile, but were very niche products. Lately, a number of companies have got involved in the space, will there be a resurgence?
