Perhaps, but I really don't know how it was ever going to work for them. They need people to come to the store to buy books and move inventory. And every ebook one of their customers buys means another book left on the shelf. It's better to focus on one thing and do a good job at it. It's a mixed message to feature a Nook kiosk: 'hey did you know you don't need to bother coming to the store'?

Yeah, the question is where have those 600 stores opened? I live in a fairly upscale suburb of Houston and bookstores here are scarce. It is easier for me to count the closed bookstores than any new ones that opened.

Probably more like 300, with another 200 'in the works'. I think this is the article:
