E-Device Questionable

I have been reading in recent posts in several newspapers that the Nook by B&N will no longer be in production.  Apparently Barnes and Nobles took a look at their company financial records and saw that the Nook was not doing so well and that it cost them more money to keep it going under their management.  To Nook or not to Nook is the question.  B&N states that those who have purchased the Nook HD devices will still be able to get sales and support.  Who really wants to keep a device that will not keep up with the ever changing gadgets?  This may shut down and go away totally if they do not bring in a third party to help them market and develop a gizmo that can keep up with Amazon.  I personally think that it will flat line and die out and I will stick with Amazon.
