A Barnes & Noble near my parents moved from their original space at one end of the mall to the other end. This new space is smaller than their original space by about half or two thirds. While they have fewer materials on the shelves (and fewer shelves), it seems more lively than the original spot did, probably because there's fewer space for the number of people who go there. I bet that the company would see that as a fair tradeoff.

Yeah probably most books sold are the best sellers not the extensive sections for less well selling stuff. Paring down is not a bad idea, and if you need references a library is a good place
