Barnes & Noble (BKS) early Thursday said it ended a Nook Media e-reader and tablet joint venture with Microsoft (MSFT) as it reported a drop in fiscal Q2 2015 revenue and earnings from a year ago. Barnes & Noble signed a deal with Microsoft to buy back its stake in the Nook digital books and device business. The New York-based bookseller said it plans before August to split off the Nook Media division into a separate, publicly traded company. Scalper1 News
