I hope so. I hate Amazon.

I like my kindle 2 and I welcome a little competition in the marketplace. I think we will see some innovative marketing in the days to come since there are now two.

I have a Kindle, but this design looks pretty good. I find all that space taken up by the keyboard to be a waste.

Nook? If it was nooky they’d have something....

[Yo-Yo]

Not at $259. Gilette made his fortune by giving away the razor and selling blades.

Sounds like B&N don’t think they’ll sell many “blades” with pricing like that.

Perhaps a “book-of-the-month” subscription service with a two year minimum would kickstart the e-book business.

I love my Kindle2, but I am excited to see competition in this market.

No. It’ll make Kindle more affordable.

[Larry Lucido]

If they make it so the device can “read” the book to you via an earpiece, with a reasonably decent “voice,” my volume of “reading” would increase exponentially. And even with a computer reading voice, this would be superior to MP3 books if I can also follow along with the printed word, or stop the reading and scroll back a page or two to see something I didn’t quite understand.

Love my kindle, but does the Nook come with the woman who advertises it on their site?

[ctdonath2]

These things are going to have to standardize on inter-operable content _fast_. Consumers are going to balk at the notion of having to buy multiple readers based on retailer.

The “razor model” only applies when you’re the only one who can make/license compatible consumables, and when customers aren’t interested in buying a variety of such consumables. I’m happy to buy Gillette Mach III Turbo blades exclusively year after year, but don’t sell me an e-book reader that I can’t read all my e-books on regardless of where I got them.

Amazon supplies their 3G Whispernet for free. Do you get that with At&T?

It looks like the Kindle. Screen looks the same....

[Mentos]

Funny, I’m reading this on my Kindle DX right now. Free 3G internet. The browser doesn’t play nice with complicated HTML but it’s perfect for FR.

Finally a product that will force Amazon to redesign the Kindle.

If we go into operating system wars like Windows vs. MAC or Sony Beta CAm Vs. VHS in video recorders, things will be slow to sort out.
