Not to be outdone by Amazon’s recent announcement marking the Kindle its “best-selling product of all-time,” Barnes & Noble declared its own eBook reader, the Nook Color, its “biggest bestseller ever in its nearly 40-year history.”
Like Amazon’s own announcement, Barnes & Noble isn’t offering much in the way of concrete sales figures, but this certainly doesn’t bode well for print media–particularly not when quotes like “Barnes & Noble also announced that it now sells more digital books than its large and growing physical book business on BN.com” are bandied about.
In the same press release the company noted that it moved almost one million NOOKbooks on Christmas Day this year, thanks to new titles by James Patterson, Stieg Larsson, John Grisham, and that George W. Bush guy.
The Nook Color first hit the market on November 16th.
