Location is a part of B&N's overhead problem but the fact that they are diversifying their catalog beyond books points to the *size* of the locations as a bigger problem; they are simply not selling enough books to justify the size of the stores. Revenue per square foot is down and dropping further.
B&N needs revenue and if Nook isn't doing it fast enough...
