Microsoft and Barnes & Noble join to form a new Nook company
Barnes & Noble just received $300 million from Microsoft as part of the two companies' new joint venture, Nook Media LLC (link). Microsoft will now own 17% of Barnes & Noble, and a new Nook app for Windows 8 is coming out soon.

What does that mean for my Nook Tablet? It will become obsolete faster? Or maybe the app store will finally be worthwhile.

It will be strange if this JV offers only Android-based readers in the future. But I suspect that Microsoft may not want even Windows Phone 8 on devices that cost only $100.

“How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp
1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.
