The Barnes & Noble ($BKS) story reminds me of those pictures where they show a big fish swallowing a small fish only to be itself swallowed up by an even bigger one.  Barnes & Noble founder Len Riggio built the largest bookseller on earth by putting thousands of mom & pops under his sword across the country; now he himself is facing his own possible destruction from the twin threats of shareholder activist Ron Burkle and the disintermediation of the digital age.
