When it comes to dedicated e-book readers, there are a few players in the market that come to mind, and Barnes & Noble would definitely be one of them.

There have been reports going around that Barnes & Noble might just decide to “move away” from the Nook hardware, and instead, redirect their focus on other parts of its business at least according to the New York Times.
