Barnes and Noble complains to DOJ about e-book lawsuit

Laura Hazard Owen:

In a complaint sent to the Department of Justice this morning, Barnes & Noble says that the DOJ’s proposed settlement with HarperCollins, Hachette and Simon & Schuster for allegedly colluding to fix e-book prices “represents an unprecedented effort” to become “a regulator of a nascent technology that it little understands.”

Nice aggressive stance by Barnes and Noble.
