Well the author doesn't understand a lot; he wanted to talk about a quote but it doesn't help when you aren't right on the technology. The suggestion that B&N needs to focus on building a better a ebook reader and should license someone else's is downright strange. No one buys ebooks because the quality of the application on their smartphone isn't very good, buy them because of the content network behind them. Additionally, the author doesn't understand an ODM can't license what you have built to someone else. One of the advantages that Kindle and Nook have over other tables is their builtin content distribution network. That is the reason they can offer the tablet at all at the prices they do.
- Terretta 14y ago> The suggestion that B&N needs to focus on building a better a ebook reader ... is downright strange. Most people misread the article. That point was something he said others have said, AND IS WRONG. Please read the sentence AFTER those bullet points: Those are all good but I’d argue that doing this wouldn’t solve B&N’s problem in the long term. His real bullet points are later.
- danielweber 14y agoMost people misread the article. If "most people" misread something, the problem is very likely in the article.
- Terretta 14y agoYes, those bullet points were quite poorly introduced.
