Barnes & Noble Backpedals on Dropping Color Tablets

By: Joan E. Solsman | CNET

Barnes & Noble will keep making the breadth of its Nook devices after all, in a reversal of strategy set by a chief executive who departed last month.

Michael P. Huseby, president of Barnes & Noble and chief executive of its Nook Media unit, said the company "intends to continue to design and develop cutting-edge Nook black and white and color devices," which includes offering Nook HD, Nook HD+ and its other e-readers "at the best values in the marketplace."
