"Peak Barnes & Noble"

    Barnes & Noble currently has over 680 stores, at one point opening 30 new locations a year. But now it expects to close 20 stores a year over the next decade. Which is fine, sort of, as more reading moves to screens. But, unfortunately for Barnes & Noble, sales of its Nook ebook reader aren't spectacular.
