And the Independent stores have greatly decreased because the Publishers were fine with Barnes and Noble and Borders underselling the Independents. The publishers did nothing to help the Independents.
The reality is that the Publishers helped to create this mess. Barnes and Noble help create this mess. Now they both want to blame Amazon. It is a massive amount of BS.
I don't want Barnes and Noble to go away. Competition is good. But the Publishers and Barnes and Noble need to face reality and deal with the environment that they helped to create and stop crying about how unfair Amazon is.
