For the last two or so days, BN networked computers have been down. Is this the start of the end? Also, what store are getting rid of the octagon displays? Down with BN and Daunt.

It's a ransomware attack. Happened through corporate.
Those are the part timers they laid the Booksellers off for. That’s the BN culture now.
Dear Booksellers ,
Please try to construct real sentences that utilize correctly spelled words .
Thank you ,
Annoyed Reader of the most ridiculous posts ever on the website.
Barnes and Noble Nook syncing systems are down
Barnes and Noble is experiencing an outage on their Nook e-readers and the Nook apps for Android and iOS. The Nook libraries are not syncing or loading purchases, which means you cannot read ebooks, view your purchases or make new purchases. The entire system has crashed and it won’t be fixed for a couple of days.
Barnes and Noble technical support has confirmed with Good e-Reader that the servers are down for maintenance, but they never disclosed the downtime in advance to Nook owners. They have not issued any type of update on social media or the B&N website. The inability to sync purchases is a kick in the pants for anyone that was hoping to read a good ebook this long weekend.
Update: Various Barnes and Noble Store managers have contacted me and stated that there is a virus in their networks. It initially came down from the corporate and filtered down to the stores and also affected the Nook. Cash registers, in physical bookstores are attached to the same network, so no orders can be placed or processed. Barnes and Noble stated that the problem would be sorted on Sunday, but that is looking unlikely
My old store had put in those cheap small dark wood tables. They were drying to make a large industrial space feel cozy and charming.
Their website won’t down. They didn’t address or answer questions online. Lots of people unhappy with lack of information. . “Probably not enough IT people left to quickly fix the meltdown.
Great idea BN, drive more customers away.
Have your hours been cut? And once Covid surges again, B&N is toast.
