Barnes & Noble is about to go under brehs

[FlimFlam]

We gettin funneled into a reality where our lives are going to revolve around nothing but working and going str8 home where all our shyt we need will be waiting on us.....just to repeat the same shyt the next day.....and the shyt is ugly.

People already think u on some slick shyt or trying to hide cause u aint on social media

I love Barnes & Nobles. There's a dope one off of Cobb Parkway in Marietta. I keep saying I need to stop by, it's been a little while since I was there last, but that store is always full of customers.

It's one right across from me in Inman Park. I stay in that joint reading tech books and comics.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

As much as I love physical books, when you traveling and wanna read something there's no better choice than your phone or a tablet.

Not to mention websites where you can get books.....let me stop ......it's hard to picture myself getting up in 30 degree weather in NY and going down to B&N for some books, shyt just ain't the wave to me anymore. With that said it sucks those people lost their jobs so early into 2018.

They should have linked up with Starbucks or something and start slanging dope coffee and snacks in em hoes

And way too many people reading books without coping

Half price books gotta lower prices anyway

In any decent society, Amazon would be put in check real quick. Break up the banks applies to overreaching mega-companies too.

Google gobbles up google like entitiies. Google does not gobble up your local grocery store, the taxis, the new food company that delivers meals you can cook...

Amazon is fukking evil.

That’s not amazons fault. They are doing what they are supposed to do.

There was a big ass Barnes and Noble in Manhattan not far from where I used to work. I remember picking up a book. Going upstairs to grab something to eat and sitting there reading.

The age of social media and google.........people can get any and everything on they phones.....the art of buying a book and reading is ancient as fukk

They can't be beat and offer numerous advantages over reading on a phone or tablet.

All you have to do is read up on them

word like blockbuster. i heard they had the opportunity to purchase netflix before it became the monster that it is.

and they passed...

adapt or die off

Blockbuster was working on producing their own movies with financing through Enron. That shyt blew up and it was all downhill from there

Be thankful they didn't buy Netflix bc it wouldn't be around as we know it today

I can download any book to my phone and read it, regardless if its a EPUB or not......as long as its a PDF......I have the world largest library for free......why would I limit my access to books by buying an overpriced Kindle?

to be honest i don't know that these companies could've done anything. amazon kills it in the book business bc you can go there and buy a used book for basically the price of shipping. amazon would sell books even if it was losing money on it because it brings people to their site.

how do you compete with a company that's willing to lose money on the items upon which you base your business?
