William Lynch
CEO, Barnes and Noble
When folks
place confidence in e-books, they usually think about Amazon. however it\'s
Barnes and Noble, once the looming goliath to native book stores, that several
publishers not-so-secretly hope can succeed. In recent years, it\'s struggled
mightily, closing over one hundred stores and seeing its stock worth languish. However
it managed to create a game changer in its Nook. Microsoft is investment $300
million with Barnes & Noble for a seventeen.6% stake in its digital e-book
reader. Microsoft\'s investment values the Nook business at $1.7 billion that
is over double the $792 million recent market price for all of Barnes &
Noble.
