In its letter to Amazon.com affiliates, John Foley, President of BN.com, said he was "disappointed to hear that Amazon would threaten small businesses' livelihood rather than comply with state law," and said B&N welcomed Amazon.com affiliates who were terminated. "If Amazon doesn't want you, we do! And, we will take care of collecting and remitting all sales taxes due on BN.com sales to its customers so you and our customers don't have to worry about being hassled or prosecuted by state tax auditors." Barnes & Noble has over 13,000 affiliates, and information about its affiliate program can be found here. |

Barnes & Noble issued an open letter to Amazon affiliates in an attempt to capitalize on the problems Amazon.com faces with some state tax authorities. States such as New York have told Amazon it must collect state sales tax because its affiliates count as a physical presence. In response, Amazon.com has shut off affiliates in states that have enacted such laws.
