Consumers don't care about specs in this market. Sure, a few do, but not enough to make or break a product. This market is all about services, convenience, branding and mindshare. In those categories, Amazon, specifically the Kindle, wins hands down. Even with better specs, the B&N Nook will feel like the cheaper "also-ran" to the more mainstream Kindle Fire and iPad. It's a shame for B&N, but that's the facts.
- potatolicious 15y agoIMO it's going to come down to selection, price, and experience. Unless either side comes out with a killer feature that the other can't replicate. What's the selection of titles, movies, and music? What's the pricing look like? What's the buying and consumption experience? Amazon has all 3 down to an art. Does B&N?
