Not really similar. You go to an Apple store to buy Apple products. You go to Barnes & Noble to buy books. Who gives a shit who publishes it, you just want to consume the material.
Amazon stocks B&N published books.
Amazon pushes for exclusivity in its own ebook contracts, preventing B&N from stocking certain ebooks.

Seems like an appropriate response to me.
