Are we talking about NookStudy, or actual Barnes & Nobles bookstores located on the college campuses? B&N has an actual bookstore on the campus of UCF. They do not sell college textbooks there. The UCF bookstore is a separate entitiy ran by the college.

When I went to college the bookstore was owned and run by the school. Now, the official University Bookstore is owned and operated by Barnes & Noble. I'm sure there's a licensing contract involved. That's where the conversation started.


But, as is often the case, the conversation seems to have evolved.

The B&N unit that runs the college bookstores is being spun off into an independent company targeting the academic pbook and ebook markets. It is getting custody of Yuzu, which is not in any way related to Nookstudy.

Or at least that is the stated plan.
B&N being what it is, that could change next week.
