Barnes & Noble May Sell Off Nook

The Nook is successful, B&N less so, what to do… I know, sell off the Nook!

Barnes & Noble: Pros, Cons of Selling Off Nook

“For a company better known for its box stores than computing boxes, Barnes & Noble has done an impressive job of carving a technological place for itself in the burgeoning e-reader and tablet hardware market. Now it seems the company wants to cash in on all that hard work and take a back seat to companies like Amazon and Apple by spinning off its Nook hardware business, or possibly selling it entirely. Is it a good idea? Is it a dumb idea?”

I vote dumb.
