Way before Amazon took over...well, everything...what chain store became the first to sell books online through an early videotex service called "Trintex," a joint venture between Sears and IBM?

B&N were pioneers of the online bookselling business, but were ahead of their time since the Trintex system never really took off. It worked on personal computers and allowed subscribers to shop online, and eventually became known as Prodigy.
