Surprise, it's Wired. The news is that it's minimal enough that it functions on e-reader browsers, and the Kindle is the dominant e-reader.

- Groxx 16y agoAre you sure? The most recent figures I've been able to find suggest the Nook out-selling the Kindle in March, and I see no reason for that to reverse when the Nook's update makes it far better than the original, and B&N is a mega-seller of anything in its stores.
- mquander 16y agoNope, I'm not sure.
- mlinsey 16y agoInteresting. Can I see your figures? As far as I know Amazon has never released any, only to say that it is be best selling SKU on Amazon. And they are selling it in Target stores now as well...
- Groxx 16y agoJust these, the source of which seems to be repeated all over the internet, and I can't attest to any amount of validity aside from their widespread use: http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/04/26/nook-passes-kindle-sales-in-march/ http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/04/26/nook-passes-kindle-sale...
- jonhendry 16y agoI doubt it. I think I've seen one Nook 'in the wild' on public transit in Boston. I often see people with kindles, sometimes more than one person on a subway platform. And I've been seeing even more lately - people using the new black ones.
- Groxx 16y agoI've seen 3 or 4, 2 kindles, 1 Sony, and 3 iPads. But I'm hardly a representative sample size. I'd love to see real figures for both, but I haven't heard of any.
