Barnes & Noble Is For Sale: Amazon Should Buy It
- sokoloff 16y agoMany reasons why it would make sense from a consumer point of view, but only a couple (mostly fairly weak) reasons why it makes sense for Amazon to do it. (Maybe #2, #6, #8 [a repeat of #2], #11 [a repeat of #2 an #8], and the only compelling one is #13 and #14 [really the same].) A list of 15 "reasons" that boils down to about one and a half. Amazon is killing the category; even if they are going to buy them, why not let B&N flail longer and buy them for pennies on the dollar instead of quarters? The first line said it best: "This is all about the money" As it should be, and because of that, there's no reason for Amazon to pounce, IMO.
