If B&N is struggling, can they be far behind?
Also, as far as I can tell, they don't really distribute eBooks except for those coming from major publishers. The only ways I could find to get eBooks into their store involve either contracting with Lightning Source/Ingram to distribute the eBooks or paying for Books-A-Million's author services (where they produce the book). Either choice is very expensive for the limited benefit (forty or fifty bucks a book), which basically makes them noise as far as I'm concerned, at least with my author hat on.

Those have all the problems of BAM, plus the added benefit of fragmenting the marketplace very badly.
So here's hoping the Nook and Kobo stores stick around for a long time to come....
