Money problems

This guy is talking about how BN's money problems are making them slow down payments to publishers. He's talking about ebook publishers, but maybe the same thing is going on with other suppliers... https://the-digital-reader.com/2020/04/23/bn-is-having-money-problems/

I’ve worked in corporate. Being behind with the bills is a standard move for them. Holds on to cash flow for other things , knowing publishers and other companies want space in the store, so they’ll wait for their money.

I guess the telephone operator that I called was incorrect about them never going out of business. Looks like that lady was full of it. Also the DM I talked to that said they are doing fine, yeah sure.

Having problems paying what they promised their employees. Not surprised they’re stiffing the publishers.

It’s a small percentage of their revenue, so it makes sense they’d cut/postpone it right now. They’re not ordering magazines either.
