what will malone do with it? it's trading at less of a discount. it's still mildly attractive. do you own liberty media or barnes & noble? >> i don't, and i won't own it now. >> joining me is director of research at the yankee >> suzanne: today's deal comes as e-readers and tablet p.c.'s like the ipad are shifting the media landscape. joining me now for a look at growing business of e-books is carl howe, director of research at the yankee group. carl, welcome to the program. >> it's a pressure to be with you. >> you were probably listening to the interview before us, talking about how big a business the business of e-books is. what are we talking about? how big is it? >> the business of books is actually a much bigger business than people think. just this year, we're look at about $1.4 billion worth of sales in e-books. and we see that growing to about $3billion in the next two years. so if barnes & noble were to get a small piece of that, about a third, they could actually make back in revenue what's being spent on it today. >> of course $600 million question here is do we thi

john malone sees in the deal. many analysts think he's focused on the nook-- barnes and noble's e-book reader. a new version of the nook is due out next week. >> tom: liberty media has been known for seemingly unconventional deals in the past. it owns the atlanta braves, major league baseball team; a technology company that can locate mobile phone signals for security purposes, called true position but the billion-dollar offer to buy a book store has many wondering about this deal. >> is this a good deal for liberty media? >> it can't be. you have a case where booksteers it's a dying media. and just as amazon this week, they reported that digital book sales are outselling their print book sales, the same thing is going to happen to barnes & noble. obviously barnes & noble has a lot of business with the nook and other areas but the business will not be worth as much three, five years from now. >> tom: what about the nook business? that's the four-letter word here. that's what everybody is pointing to, that it's the
