I could go with your opinion, or listen to the man in question:

“The perception that I am anti-e-books is wrong. I am very in favour of them if I can sell them, and I have not been able to do that [in the UK]. 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...”

And the bitter taste Nook has left in the UK after pulling the plug and shunting their customers off to a (I believe grocery chain) who in turn sold them to Kobo.

They’d be better off distancing themselves from nook on that front...

Or changing the name from Nook to something else. Like Wordery maybe.
