Can Barnes & Noble Save Itself?

Can Barnes & Noble Save the Book? | MIT Technology Review: "As a bibliophile and dead-tree holdout, I’m principally interested in the fate of Nook insofar as it’s a bellwether for the fate of Barnes & Noble as a whole. I want browsing, physical browsing of physical books, to persist in its brick-mortar-stores. I want authors to have places to read on their book tours, which are themselves also endangered species. I want staff picks and shelves and the physical sense of moving from one province of learning to another, not by clicking, but my moving your feet, arms, and hands. I think something real and deep is lost, when all this is lost."

E-bleeder: is Nook on its deathbed? | The Verge: "The ending has yet to be written for Barnes & Noble's Nook story, which began with the surprise debut of the original Nook e-reader back in late 2009. But recent plot twists don't appear to bode well for the subsidiary known as "Nook Media," which contains the company's e-reader, tablet, and digital content businesses, and which two other companies — Microsoft and publisher Pearson — have bought into."
