Here’s an e-mail just in from Barnes & Noble:
Barnes & Noble.com is pleased to announce a new partnership with Textbooks.com.
Textbooks.com is a leading provider of new and used textbooks. As a result of this new arrangement, we will make your inventory available to Textbooks.com customers along with all the same information you provide to us – including seller name, feedback, condition and comments. However, all of your inventory management and order processing activities for orders on Textbooks.com can continue to be handled using our services. You will receive additional exposure for your inventory without any additional work or fees. Your commission structure remains exactly the same.
If you prefer to opt out of this affiliation, please contact Seller Relations at sellerrelations@bookquest.com or 866.897.1763.
Not sure how many sales this will generate for the average seller, but there doesn’t seem to be much downside, if the inventory and order processing is handled by B&N.; Textbooks.com’s ranking with Alexa is about 45,000 but I’m sure it spikes up in January and August.

I got the email, too, and I don't see any downside.
When Alibris partnered with Better World Books, there was quite an outcry because of BWB's perceived predatory buying and selling practices. I don't know of any similar complaints against Textbooks.com.
I wonder if this means BN is looking for other partnerships? While my sales on BN are fairly good, they have never seemed to work at developing their marketplace.
I hope this signals good news for BN and its future.
