Why is this job crazy hot?
Barnes and Noble is making a major investment in digital books, and our mantra is: “any book, any time, anywhere”. You may have heard of our new device, the nook; it’s great and all, but we can only build so many, and there are millions of phones and desktops out there just waiting for a great reading experience without the need for additional hardware. That is our team.
Help us make reading more accessible to a whole new generation by making readers as common as music players, and equally ubiquitous.
