Forbes: Barnes & Noble's NOOK Bet Paying Off

http://www.forbes.com/sites/afonteve...les-quadruple/

The world’s largest bookseller, as the company labels itself, has put a substantial bet on its e-reader and digital business. It seems to be working, NOOK related business jumped 140% to $277 million while sales of digital content quadrupled. On-line sales soared 37% to $198 million.
Still no actual sales numbers, but great to see them growing. Very curious now what the sales breakdown is for the Nook vs. Nook Color though.

(If *all* that Nook related revenue were Nook Colors, that would mean around a million units last quarter)

includes sales of Nook hardware -- the original Nook, Nook Simple Touch, and Nook Color -- plus content sales such as books, magazines, and apps.
