Online Shakeup At Barnes & Noble

Barnes & Noble's online CEO resigns

Wow, I'd really like to know the story behind that!
Barnes & Noble said Marie J. Toulantis's duties have been assumed by E-Commerce vice president Tom Burke and Kevin Frain, its chief financial officer. The bookseller said Toulantis will remain with the company as a consultant.

Emphasis added by me.

Oh yeah, having a CFO marketing books online. That'll work out as FAIL!
Toulantis will remain with the company as a consultant.

Translation: We don't know this shit. Here's money. Teach us!

So let's see ... Barnes & Noble acquires Borders, then sells itself to Amazon.

Nah. Bezos would just crush them.

Dear God, Steve Jobs, save us!!
