Barnes & Noble Inc. (NYSE: BKS) may have gotten an investment for Nook, its e-reader and e-book operation, from Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) as the software company presses into tablets.

(NASDAQ: AAPL) control the application markets for these devices. So, Barnes & Noble has set a partnership with Google.
