You know, it's a little thing, but if Daunt wanted to restore the lustre to Nook remember, I'm saying *if*, one simple thing he could do is advertise the damn things. I remember those commercials for the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight. That was what pushed me to go look at one in the store and then to buy it.

Drop the B&N branded tablets, unless they provide some real source of income. Partner with Kobo or license their hardware (or another eink device manufacturer) if that will save a few bucks and shore up the online bookstore. Start selling Nooks at Waterstones and other bookstores owned by the same company.

Long term, I think it is a good idea for B&N to keep in the ebook market.

Yeah, people here will complain about B&N taking away the ability to download books and that's still true and all. But I don't think that's what caused B&N's failure.
