Barnes & Noble staakt eigen productie Nook-tablet
Barnes & Noble staakt de eigen productie van zijn Nook-tablets vanwege de verliezen die het bedrijf maakt op het apparaat. De Amerikaanse uitgever liet in een verklaring weten het afgelopen kwartaal 122 miljoen dollar verlies te hebben gedraaid. De omzet van de Nook-tablets was in het laatst gerapporteerde kwartaal bovendien 34 procent lager ten opzichte van een jaar eerder. Barnes & Noble is momenteel op zoek naar een partij die de productie van de Nook, voorzien van Android, kan overnemen. Er zullen nog wel updates voor de Nook worden uitgebracht en zal Barnes & Noble nog e-books blijven verkopen.
