They will probably work out something to continuing selling Nook devices in B&M stores. It will be interesting from a content licensing standpoint however. Will Nook/MS still have the same content rights and publisher relationships that B&N has?

I wonder, I remember talk that the Nook was the reason that barnes & noble survived when all the other rick and mortar bookshops went out of business due to Amazon.

Not sure if its true or not, wouldnt think the Nook was THAT popular.
