Did Microsoft ever sell directly? They had Microsoft Reader but I thought all the stores were third-party.
However, Amazon did at one point in time sell ebooks in multiple formats pre-Kindle, one of which was Microsoft Reader. (I assume the others were PDF and Mobipocket.) So they have form for closing up shop and killing access to purchases like this.
