Barnes & Noble Founder Wants to Take Retail Division Private

Posted by Unknown on Monday February 25, 2013 @01:10PM from the that's-one-way-to-die dept.

The times haven't been the kindest to B&N: retail sales are down and the Kindle is outselling the Nook. Joining Best Buy and Dell, B&N might be going private. From the article: "Barnes & Noble’s largest shareholder, Leonard Riggio, made an offer Monday to buy out the struggling company and take it private ... Essentially, it would split the company in two: one half would be Riggio’s private brick-and-mortar stores and related assets, the other the publicly-traded Nook and college bookstore management division."

Douche Bag Central by Anonymous Coward · 2013-02-25 13:18 · Score: -1, Offtopic

The problem with most people at Slashdot these days is that they are 20-something douche bags. The golden era of Slashdot is gone forever, and now it's just a bunch of over entitled college students with very little life experience, and the under 30 douche bags that can't let go of being over entitled college students.
In other words, Slashdot is Douche Bag Central.
Just the facts, folks.
