Presumably this was posted as a reminder on how things change. In the 1990s Riggio/B&N was indeed a powerful force (think of the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan comedy "You've Got Mail!" where Hanks plays a character inspired by Riggio and Ryan an owner of an imperiled small bookstore), and Amazon was a small "hip" upstart. These days B&N stores are closing all over and it is questionable if the chain will survive.
