Is Barnes & Noble in trouble and the remaining private bookstores in a better position to handle physical books in the age of e-books? See what the New York Times thinks.

Barnes and Noble is in trouble because their stores are dull and outdated. The majority of Barnes and Nobles bookstores resemble these cheap chain store supermakets like C-town. So people read the NY review of books and other sources and then order the books from Amazon. But I don’t think that e-books are the future.
