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".

Agreed. Better late than never. And the worst option is to try nothing. To just sit there with their old strategy and die a slow death. At the very least, they can make that death less painful and more honorable. They can go down fighting! And maybe, just maybe, they will have a decent robe at the end to be buried in.
