“You didn’t see Best Buy, Blockbuster, or Circuit City doing anything ground-breaking in video, or Sam Goody or Coconuts doing anything impressive in digital music. Office Depot and Staples haven’t done anything special in online documents. Borders belly-flopped at everything digital. But Barnes & Noble has actually made a serious run in e-books, e-readers, and now color tablets. It may not last, or win, or save the company. In some regards, the Nook is still — as I wrote a couple of years ago — ‘the new Zune’ of e-readers. But it is here, and executing, and relevant. And that’s better than most other legacy retail companies can say.”
