Tom,

Barnes and Noble said something to the effect that they would not allow their online business to adversely affect overall profitability


Nice speech by BKS, but if AMZN is successful, BKS hurts just as bad as it will be taken out of their sales.

Even if they don't want to plow into advertising, they may mark their books down another 5% and they wouldn't loose a lot of (if any) money.

You could be right and BKS and all will snooze until it is too late, but if the people in charge there want to keep their jobs they will have to act sometime.
