Already I'm not sure how much attention you've really paid. Say what you want about Nook software, their catalog, etc. If Nook has a high point, it is their hardware. Your 'generic China Inc. hardware' comment is bull.
As to what to invest in:
Improve the firmware, make it easier for folks to download their purchases. Sell Nooks at his other bookstores.
Your argument about Nook being in a hole that is impossible to get out of reminds me of
Wired's Pray cover for Apple. They were seen as ready to go down the tubes in 1997.
I'm not saying that I expect B&N, much less Nook, to do a similar turn around. But I do think your assumptions about Nook's doomed future don't add up to a whole lot.
