What's to stop Barnes & Noble and others from taking over this niche?

Nothing!

This company is toast. When the big names come in they will squash Amazon. IPO opening at $29 -- let a few fools be parted of their money. If I had the dough, I'd short this puppy.

Question de jour ===> How can Amazon.com have a market cap = 1/3 of Barnes and Noble given that B&N has 100X or more brand recognition?

Do your own survey - Stop someone on the street and ask them if they have heard of Amazon. I'll bet you'll get the response "Isn't it a river in South America?"
