was/is up against with internet giant Amazon. I view Amazon a bit like Walmart...it's gobbled up a lot of business. In B&N's case, it can't become a vendor with Amazon, can it?

Amazon is everywhere....my closest B&N is 60 miles away. I have a Nook and love it. It's income I spend at B&N because I don't have to spend a bundle for a hardback copy. Obviously, it's not enough. I also think B&N had no choice in developing the Nook...they're just in a bad position. Too bad...their stores are an oasis in malls, to me.

The 'other' thing: I think fewer and fewer Americans are avid readers.
