Things have steadily gone south for B&N since then.
For calendar year 2016, B&N sold 165M pbooks out of a total 809M.
That is 20%.
The last number I saw had them at 17%. That is half their share when Birders folded and in fact, less than Borders' share when they went under.
In a recent Shatzkin column he said that by the time B&N folds it won't be all that important to tradpub.
Amazon is probably in the 55-60% pbook range.
