Taking a page from its original playbook, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. launched a full-fledged price war with Amazon.com Inc. and a nation of book retailers, lowering online prices on certain highly anticipated hardback titles to $9.

This is not good for book stores.

Good information Dt.
In a price war, they often sell at a loss. The down side is when they raise prices again. It can kill book sales with the impression that they are now overpriced.
I don't think it will impact book stores to a large degree. People who buy online are not the bookstore's customer base.
