Nook is BN's best selling device -- ever
No numbers, just comfortably vague like Amazon. But check the last sentence...

Quote:
Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE: BKS), the world’s largest bookseller, today announced that with millions of NOOK eReading devices sold, the line has become the company’s biggest bestseller ever in its nearly 40-year history. The new NOOKcolor Reader’s Tablet, introduced just eight weeks before Christmas, is the company’s number one selling gift of the holiday season. Barnes & Noble also announced that it now sells more digital books than its large and growing physical book business on BN.com, the world’s second largest online bookstore. With its growth across device and NOOKbook™ sales over the critical holiday selling season, Barnes & Noble has successfully established itself as a leader in digital reading.
I found that weird. In the absence of hard numbers from its competitors, it could easily say it was THE leader.

I don't find it surprising. The NC is a great device at a very attractive price.

I had lots of problems connecting to the B&N servers on Christmas day, I would assume the servers were overloaded with all new freshly unpacked NCs calling the mothership for registration and book browsing/shopping.

Besides the Nook and Nook Color, what other Barnes and Noble devices were in the running for best seller?

I think B&N meant best-selling item, book, device or otherwise.
