Microsoft and Nook Media update agreement; Redmond developing its own reader app

[Windows Central]

Microsoft and Nook Media (Barnes & Noble) have updated the agreement signed two years ago. According to a new 8-K filing by Barnes and Noble, Nook Media is now allowed to discontinue the Windows 8 app and cease development on the Windows Phone companion client at their discretion. Before you take to rioting in the streets, a replacement app is on the way for Windows 8, titled Microsoft Consumer Reader and we could well see a Windows Phone version from Redmond too.

Ever since they signed an agreement, all we got so far was that Windows 8 app. What was the point in the B&N deal anyways?

Any update on this? The Samsung Nook is being announced tomorrow and Nook is my only "must have" app that is not on Windows phone.
