"next" Kindle killer? that would imply there has already been one.
It does sound interesting, though. | | | |

The fact that's it's tied to B&N is a strike against it for me. I use Amazon for books, music and a lot of other stuff, and would prefer to keep it that way. The book-lending is great though, hopefully Amazon will feel enough pressure to add a similar feature to the Kindle system.
Oh, and 'nook' is a stupid-sounding name.

And to think I was going to buy a Kindle this week. Now I have to wait and see how the public likes a Nook.
Thanks for the information.

the kindle is nice, but who wants to have their only copy of a book on the portable device. i still like the sony version better.
would like color screens however for photos etc in some books. and a little better non reflecting screen.

Amazon/something killed off the U.S. version of the kindle, surely the rest to follow. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
