1. I doubt Kindle is a quality product, NC seems a better product than that. You can't install Kindle for Android in an unrooted NC. The cost factor works for B&N since they own retail distribution. That alone gives them a 30% advantage over other tablet players. In the past few months, Amazon shutdown their Kindle SDK program and opened an Android store. So not exactly a great backing of the Kindle product.
2. True, but will there a big enough market for all these features?. Apple can make the greatest tablet, but if their margins are challenged and the customers flock to a low cost good-enough device then I don't think Apple will be pleased with the result. B&N made a profit for the first time in many quarters. They sold a boatload of Nook Colors. I doubt they are losing money on NC.
- neuroelectronic 16y agoYour opinion of the Kindle vs Nook is not relavant. The fact is that they are different products and the Nook is competing with the iPad. The Nook sells well because it's a cheap iPad, not because it's a color Kindle. Amazon did not shutdown their SDK? How to you think the App store is populated with apps without an SDK? Obviously, you are just a bit biased and your opinion is not objective.
- allwein 16y agoI don't see how you can comment on Kindle not being a quality product if you haven't used one at all. It's easy to use and built well. I haven't heard of any widespread issues about it at all. Also, The Kindle SDK program hasn't been canceled. It's still available as it's always been, though still in Beta. http://www.amazon.com/kdk/ http://www.amazon.com/kdk/
