Why doesnt he just blame his political enemies? You mean to tell me that in the private sector people are responsible for their mistakes?

Maybe they should launch a family-values campaign, since Amazon (Kindle) their direct competitor has Pro-Homosexual agenda ads on TV now.

I hope they lose their ass. Nowhere do you see more “O” stickers than at a B&N.

I can’t play their ebooks on my Kindle Fire, so I buy from Amazon instead. This is like the VHS-Beta wars of the 80’s.

Too bad because the Nook HD+ is really a great product. Beautiful high resolution screen. I also have the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 which is also nice but I like the Nook HD+ better even though it was about 40% of the price of the Note. I’m considering putting the Note up on Ebay.

Somebody wasn't paying attention to the business model. You don't need a Kindle to read Kindle books. If you have a computer available (and how would you shop at Amazon if you don't?) you can have a free virtual Kindle online or download a free Kindle app to your phone. It isn't the hardware. It's the ubiquity.
Amazon nearly lost the whole enchilada, though, when they deleted a book from their customers' Kindles without asking. It was apparently a legitimate rights issue, but they handled it like ham-handed amateurs. It was, ironically, Orwell's 1984. They've sworn it will never happen again, but it serves to remind us that it isn't a good idea to place your entire library in the hands of people who can delete it, or be forced to delete it, at the touch of a key.

Not surprising.Judging from the testimony of Miss Slim Jeans it would appear that fewer and fewer Americans can read or write.

I think it’s awful that brick and mortar books stores and hard copy book industry is suffering.
B&N attracts libs, so what? I never have trouble finding what I need in there and they are always helpful in ordering.

I thought this was about bookstores but this is about digital media downloads and a big box store that sells overpriced coffee and fluffy toys.

In May, Barnes & Noble made a quiet admission that its Nook tablets weren't selling as well as it had hoped when it added Google's Play store for apps and other content. That means users are no longer incetivized to purchase digital content like books and movies from Barnes & Noble. It also means Nook owners were likely frustrated by Barnes & Noble's dim app selection for the tablet. Ping for later
