Fantastic news!
I, for one, am tired of barn-sized bookstores. Amazon works better at finding a good read anyway. Where do you get your customer reviews and star-counts when you are at BN? A personalized local hobby-level bookstore for people who still want paper is fine, and all that is needed.
Keep in mind, this has nothing to do with how many books are read or written, just a shift in who collects the cash. In this case, the prices will fall and more will be read and written, but with many less suits milking the cow in-between the real participants. Viva the change!
