This story makes no sense.
Firstly there is a nook app already available on iOS (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nook-by-barnes-noble/id373582546?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nook-by-barnes-noble/id373582... ) Why isn't this version a disaster while a Windows 8 version is.
Secondly competitor Amazon has Kindle apps for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, even Windows Phone 7. Clearly Amazon thinks that they are in the book selling business, not the e-reader business. Surely Barnes and Noble thinks the same?
Thirdly as far as I can tell, B&N is in trouble. They are facing Amazon, and are not winning. A strategic partnership with Microsoft may help save them. Or it may not. But either way it seems like a move that has more upsides then down sides.
I'm not really sure who this guy is, or why he is so very very angry, this news doesn't seem like much of a disaster for anyone.
