Although BKS may seem like it may be losing traction to an iPad revolution in books, a closer examination finds the opposite. It all starts with the riddle: how can more exuberance over reading affect a book store? Well, a particularly important lesson we must all be aware of was that of Blockbuster. Although, I called the demise of Blockbuster in 2006 (a short while after graduating college), it was clear as to why that was necessarily the case: culture. Could you go to a Blockbuster and buy a cup of coffee (SBUX)? Could you go there and browse all sorts of media not limited to ...

This leads to human contact through photographs and self medication. Books are another form of affordable human contact, which is enjoyed by a larger market than Porn. <> The internet has made the younger generation more literate than has been estimated. There is no question that education quality is failing in the across the United States, but the impulse to find information is at an all ti...

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of chain bookstores. First off, my cousins own a large independent bookstore in Massachusetts, and, as long as business is good for them, my big "family discount" is safe.

Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS) announces poor guidance and prepares for the financial scrub brush. With real earnings to be announced several weeks into the future Barnes & Noble has announced that its best customers are its worst financial problem. Most other industries make the most profit on their best customers but not in this case.
At the same time they announce some house keeping about closing an internet distribution center and let slip that their investigation into stock option granting is still underway.
If you read carefully the internet side of the business accounted for ...
