Interesting story in The New York Times today. Apparently, Barnes & Noble is moving away from the Nook and towards licensing its digital content to other hardware makers:
A person familiar with Barnes & Nobles’s strategy acknowledged that this quarter, which includes holiday sales, has caused executives to realize the company must move away from its program to engineer and build its own devices and focus more on licensing its content to other device makers.
Instead of pushing all its customers to the Nook, Barnes & Noble will be seeking to sell ebooks and apps to people who own Microsoft and Samsung tablets.
