Barnes & Noble launches Affiliate Program, will pay 6% commission on nook sales

According to Best-eReaders.com, Barnes & Noble just sent out an email to its business partners, announcing that will start paying a 6% commission fee on sales of nook devices, ebooks, warranties and accessories.

Commissions will be paid on shipped orders only.

Just for comparison: Amazon has been paying its affiliates a 10% commission on sales of Kindle products (bar actual e-books) since November 2007.

This is the email that was apparently sent to affiliates earlier this morning:

nook™ by Barnes & Noble, now commissionable!
