They have to pull them from Ingram.

We did a presale with B&N on June release. Then we found B&N won't let publisher order books while it is in pre-sale. Had to pull it off presale to place the order to get books in time. Customer service was a pain in the ass. The release went fine despite B&N. We quit listing paperbacks with B&N.

Actually that has been a standard practice of bookstores for a long time. It is ridiculous. Publishers, especially small publishers, are pushing back with "no return" policies which require the stores to be responsible for what they order.
