The kraft solution?
Who would want the storefronts without the online component?
At a time we're already seeing pbook sales declining?
(Malone has good reason to need foot warmers.)
The price would have to be really low...
Take online and Nook away and what remains looks a lot like Borders; worth more in liquidation.

That board meeting should produce interesting minutes.
