My honest gut instinct is that Barnes and Noble was - if not on the verge of collapse at least on shaky financial ground pre-nook.

They have a real problem here - they are behind in the digital reader game and will have huge problems eating away at Amazon's market share. I personally don't think they'll be able to do that unless they drop their prices on eBooks.

The sticky part is though, Amazon can afford to wage a price war on content. Barnes and Noble can't.
