Barnes & Noble's third quarter revenues (ending January 26) fell 8.8%, to $2.2 billion, and the net loss was $6.1 million, compared to net earnings of $52 million a year ago. Sales of $2.2 billion were below analysts' estimates of $2.4 million, Reuters reported. As a result, in trading before markets opened, B&N stock was down 2.6%.
