Hmm...
Selling/spinning off Nook doesn't necessarily mean getting out of the ebook business. B&N could still tie to an independent Nook the way Borders tied to Kobo.

B&N could also theoretically spin-off Nook and *still* stay in the ebook business on their own; They do own Fictionwise, after all. If Agency Pricing goes away or if the publishers/authors let go of their DRM security blanket, B&N could start playing up Fictionwise instead of minimizing it as they have, so far.

Or, for that matter, they might just spin-off/sell the Nook hardware business and keep the ebook side. Especially if DRM goes away.
