Barnes & Noble Inc. (NYSE: BKS) CEO Mitchell Klipper said he would close over a third of the book store firm’s locations. The company has been crushed by online firm Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), much as other large retailers have, which includes Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE: BBY).

The Barnes & Noble Nook e-reader has undersold the Amazon Kindle by a wide margin:

“In 10 years we’ll have 450 to 500 stores,” said Mitchell Klipper, chief executive of Barnes & Noble’s retail group, in an interview with the WSJ last week. The company operated 689 retail stores as of Jan. 23, along with a separate chain of 674 college stores.

Here is a list of the Barnes & Noble stores by location. The B&N Retail segment includes 691 bookstores as of April 28, 2012, primarily under the Barnes & Noble Booksellers trade name.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
