    I heard a rumor that Barnes & Noble might be going out of business.
    I just gooled for information and there doesn't seem to a consensus of opinion about what is going on.

    Just in case they do, I think I will send my B&N gift card to my grandson right away.

    It would not surprise me, as printed material is not as popular. I would miss the overall atmosphere of B&N. Have even had Bible studies in their coffee area.

    I didn't expect such prompt replies.
    Guess I'd best send the gift card now.
    The kids will be surprised.
    But that is what Grandmas do.

    Borders went out of business nationally. I know B&N has shut down many locations across the country. With so much of the content being digital it is a hard model for them to sustain. They will have to reinvent themselves in my opinion to stay relevant.
