Assuming every 20 sales of tablets means one lost NC sale, you can draw your own conclusion on where B&N is heading into. |
And why do you assume that? Why not assume that 1 in 20 tablet sales will be a NookColor? Either is just an assumption.
If they provide decent apps, at this price point they might do rather well.
As the success of the Kindle and the iPod show (since both were competing against decent devices already on the market), marketing is everything.
