I seriously doubt Sears will be importing Alibris inventory into any
brick and mortar location.  From what I can determine, they are simply
going to list each and every title by each and every Alibris vendor,
then use the Sears marketing muscle data feeds to force that
information into all of the "shopping comparison sites" that Alibris
never seems to get into, but Amazon does.  In effect, sometime near
the end of January or middle of February Sears is going to be the
world's largest book seller.
