I do think B&N is on it's way out and the e-books are still on the rise but I don't see 2014 being the end of B&N.
I think we could start seeing more downsizing of B&N stores. I could see them doing like BestBuy where BB closed down several stores and opened a bunch of smaller satellite stores that focused more on the more popular devices like tablets and cellphones.
I could see B&N focusing even more on best sellers, childrens books and reference type books and cutting inventory of paperback fiction.
