Overstock buying Nook would be interesting, especially if they did then ally with Kobo.

I dunno; if they could afford to buy Nook they wouldn't have much need to partner with Kobo. Conversely, partnering with Kobo would yield lower profits but cost a whole lot less so I think the two are mutually exclusive.
Of the two, I think the latter more likely: Kobo is doing very well outside the US but sooner or later they need to step up their visibility in the US. BAM would be a good partner but they're already signed up with Nook, which doesn't leave them too many options.
