Don't get me wrong. I'm not predicting anything at all. I'd like to see something happen to rejuvenate B&N; a buyout, new management or something. I think we need them. I think Amazon needs the competition. And they're big enough and important enough that anything could happen.

I would be surprised if B&N will rejuvenate, at least as far as ebooks go. They would need to greatly improve both their ebook selection and their ebook store. It will take someone who makes it an order of magnitude easier for me to find books that I want to buy to make me switch.
