I haven’t paid attention to BN financials for awhile, the last time I did Nook was a not insignificant drain on their resources. Though they have since cut back costs by outsourcing on the eink side which they’d already done on the tablet side. And they’ve cut way back on the in store footprint of Nook, at least in several stores.
I can’t imagine Nook has turned around and started making BN money.
It’s unfortunate that Daunt seems adamant about not selling someone else’s device, while I’m glad it means no Kindle in a BN, it also denies Kobo a better foothold than Walmart. And should Nook go the way of the dodo, which IMO is not improbable, Amazon would reign virtually unchecked in the US eink market.
