It's worth remembering two things:
1) They had layoffs likely in their hardware division a year ago:

2) They partnered with samsung for their tablet / lcd reader back in august 2014.
Interpret that however you want, that's been enough to scare me to no longer own a nook or consider purchases on their bookstore.
