RE: The best product doesn’t always win. The best market position does.
Well, unless BN turns things around, their product is going to die ( just like the DEC VMS and OpenVMS did even though it was one of the best engineered, reliable, easy to work with, Operating System and Computers I’ve had the pleasure of working with ).
And I guess this makes the author’s point as well.
Their product was doomed from day 1 because they were late to the market and didn’t have enough of the consumer brain space. On some level I think they knew that which is why they made such a great product (I’ve got a lot of gadgety friends who have everything and they all liked the Nook best), hoping quality could win out even though it never does.
