Unless, B&N jumped into some other business line (which I have not seen), their primary business is selling books and any device they launch is primarily an e-book reader. I don't think B&N will be concerned too much about people using NC as anything else, as long as they are able to sell more e-books. Similarly, I won't consider kindle as computing device just because people use free 3G to check mails, do some browsing and are able to play few odd games. B&N is positioning NC primarily as an e-reader and they will be happy with the high sales, whatever maybe the reasons.
