I'm waiting for the ferris wheel and hot air balloons. I Maybe they can get Evil Knievel to jump over some product shelves too ! I'll buy a ticket for that alone. Lol.

Like offer ebook discounts that were **only** redeemable at the B&M store.

I was thinking of those, yes.
Drive 50 miles roundtrip to redeem a $0.99 ebook freebie.

We are approaching the point where we don't know what a B&N brick and mortar store is for. Are the coffee-shop denizens going to continue to hang out if the place continues to morph into a high-end toy store? Are the parents of legomaniacs going to feel comfortable right next to a giant manga display? And does ANYBODY shop in that over-priced CD / DVD section? Ever?

Seems to me that they need to focus.
I am waiting for them to put up a sign "WE BUY GOLD".
Most places that buy your gold will give you 20% of the value, if you are lucky.

I hate to say it, but I've gone from a guy that used to work part time at B&N because I liked being in a bookstore so much to a guy that rarely goes to bookstores. It all changed with my Nook purchase.

Once I had that I immediately stopped buying paper books.

That is one thought I had: In a way, the Nook is a direct competitor to B&N's own stores.
For once I agree with you but it started before I got my Kindle. I used to haunt the remainders section. But then it went from six large shelves to two. Printing runs became more accurate and remainders were a thing of the past.

I simply don't go into bookstores any longer and I did love them because they had the books. Now, the books are on the internet.

Instead, they forced many to go to Amazon or Kobo.
You mean they tried to have their cake and eat it too, and are now losing both! LOL excellent!

One day I got two emails from B & N.

The first offered a discount on ebooks -- good in store only.

The second offered a discount on Nook covers -- good online only.

For a long time I wondered how Radio Shack stayed in business.

Wonder no more.

Hey! Radio shack offered a unique service.
All sorts of adapters and connectors and DIY electronic components you couldn't get anywhere else.

B&N just offers the same toys and, now, comics and manga, anybody else does.
