Well, that’s unfortunate. Barnes & Noble has usually been well to the left of Amazon. When an important conservative book comes out, they generally hide it, whereas Amazon is pretty “fair and balanced.”

Micrsoft always seems to be the “me too!” company. They never seem to innovate much and always look like they’re playing catch-up to markets others have created and never really perform very well.

I love my Nook.

I bought it and then ripped out all the junk from B&N. A quick install of CM7 and I had a cheap tablet.

I have a Nook Tablet..the Nook Tablet runs on a modified Barnes and Noble ANDRIOD 2.3 Operating System. Just wondering..with Microsoft’s involvement in Barnes and Nobles business..will the Nook Tablet’s operating system be changed to the new Windows 8 OS?

The Nook Tablet is pretty great. I’ve no real problems with it..I honestly don’t see a need for an operating system change at this point, anyway.. just my two cents.

Five years ago the Nook would’ve been pretty cool. But anymore... The Kindle is just eating their lunch.
