Everyone always busts B&N's chops for all their "blunders."
I think they are in an untenable position. They cannot match Amazon's prices in physical stores in the end. Sure it's fun to browse and graze, but as they trim away all the stuff that doesn't move quickly, it isn't much different that scrolling down the Amazon best seller list anyway. Definitely not an experience that makes it worth paying all the extra loot.
Everyone has a lot of great sounding ideas on what they should do. Mine is that they should negotiate free rent, hire Chinese leprechauns to man the registers, and adopt a free foot massage Thursday policy.
