Amazon has cornered the book market, and with no major foes to keep things competitive, it is killing the book industry. In the US, Barnes & Noble is now struggling, and even revenue from its e-book device, Nook, has fallen by 85% since 2012; there are fears that it will follow in the footsteps of Borders, which closed in 2011. “It’s in the interest of the book business for Barnes & Noble not just to survive but to thrive", said bookstore owner Oren Teacher.
