Barnes & Noble sells new books. A tough business. During my most recent visit, I spotted a book I was interested in purchasing. I compared the price to Amazon, which had the same book for 40% less delivered. Amazon made up for the 48 hour delay by providing instant free e-delivery of the book such that I could start reading in advance of receiving the physical book. Basically, Barnes and Noble is a great showroom for Amazon.
