It isn't a matter of quality but of involvement.

That was exactly what I took "generic China, Inc" to mean. Can you show me where the 2015 Glowlight Plus, the Glowlight 3 or the current Glowlight Plus is an off the shelf hardware design?
As for the software, it's behind the times, I won't argue that. I really don't know that it has to do with farming it out. It has more to do with not making any manner of software update at all.

Again: how about listing who is going to throw money at a fading book retailer?

That came from the article shared in the first post:
"One of the things where I differ from my immediate predecessor at B&N is that I consider the ability to sell e-books to be a great strength, and the company had stopped investing in Nook. That will change."
