The main challenge with All-New NOOK was to create a lower cost,full function eReader and to do so on a timeline that would allow it to move to market quickly."Based on our previous projects together,we felt that we had a clear grasp on the eReader market and believed that Barnes&Noble's leadership would embrace our concept for the All-New NOOK,"said Ammunition's Rolandson."With that kind of confidence,we were able to make bold decisions and bring the All-New NOOK to readers everywhere long before any other company could match its design."
