I agree there is an innovative new business model waiting to be discovered, and B&N ought to get busy or it’s going to become the next casualty. For example, rather than fighting Amazon, maybe there’s a way they could become the brick-and-mortar extension of Amazon, and merge the Kindle and Nook to better serve customers with a single unified e-book standard, but with multiple options for shopping.
Agree - it’s definitely act now or lose it forever - if they wait they’ll go the way of the big music stores.
