\"Barnes & Noble College Booksellers also operates the self-proclaimed \"world\'s largest bookstore,\" located on Fifth Avenue and 18th Street in New York City near Parsons The New School for Design. This flagship store carries a large variety of textbooks, medical books, and medical supplies in addition to the various trade titles carried at Barnes & Noble\'s main stores.\" Wikipedia
What! Medical supplies? Why that\'s quite Amazonish of them. I wonder who reaps the profits from a $250 college textbook. Anyway, congrats Barnes & Noble, because in an the age of throwaway college books every parent really looks forward to being gouged $1K per semester on hard cover books. What happens in the future is more about the demand for printed books, not how one company is evil and the others are angels from book land. Barnes & Noble also has an exclusive contract with Starbucks to sell their coffee. I mean why would I want to go to B&N for coffee when I can go to Starbucks directly.
Anyway, this was an lovely troll. A more reasonable topic might be; \"Why I\'m not going to read anything on the internet anymore because it takes away from paper book sales.\"
