I was puzzled when Barnes & Noble started devoting space in the middle of their stores to the Nook, a device that, if successful, would cause the demise of those stores.
But I was even more confused yesterday when I walked into the Barnes & Noble in Boca Raton and saw, just in front of the Nook display, a collection of LPs under the word VINYL. Is it now acceptable to listen to music - but not read books - the way we did in the 20th century? Or will I find, the next time I walk into a Barnes & Noble, a section of scrolls?
