This seems to have shaped up into a legitimate bid and it's unlikely anyone else will come forward since the company had already been "for sale" for more than six months. Presumably, Liberty is impressed with the Nook progress to date and is 100% supportive of whatever B&N intends to show off next Tuesday, Nookwise. So, medium term, it looks like competition is thriving in ereaders in the US ... now, maybe, B&N will think of expanding outside the US?
