I don't think so...if B&N had a decent share of the eBook market, maybe. But all those brick and mortar stores? And physical book inventory?

It will be curious to see what they come up with-spin off the eBook business? Make the eBook/Nook business their only business and sell the rest? Go private?

edit: Wow, their market cap jumped from $756 million to almost $960 million AH (and after that news). Amazon's market cap? $55 billion.
