So much for MS helping sell Nook...
(You can lead a horse to water...)
B&N cannot spend as much money on software development as Amazon. And it looks like their developers where overtaxed:
- Nook introduction in the UK has been delayed for 2 weeks, from what I have read because the website was not ready in time.
- The release of Nook Study for iPad has been delayed.
Priority for B&N now is probably getting the software for the new tablets ready for release on november 8.
