True, the things they should do are things they should have done (at least two years ago--they are long-known faults) and *will* take some time to get them where they need to be.
But we're not looking at a Borders implosion; B&N is not on the verge of collapse within months. They'll live to see at least summer of '14 even under the most pigheaded management.
The only thing collapsing is the illusion that they are a top player and a counter to Kindle. The ebook market continues to be Amazon and "everybody else", and Nook is still (for now) top dog in "everybody else".
The emperor isn't nekkid, just wearing a very ratty bathrobe.
(He does need a new fashion advisor, though.)
