Barnes and Noble’s Nook Reader Fails to Live Up to Promises

marco:

I want the Nook to do well — not because I want one, but because I want it to ignite Amazon’s competitive spirit to keep dropping prices and improving the Kindle. (It’s the same reason I want a good iPhone competitor to exist.)

I was hoping for the Nook to do well too. I really want to see the e-book category take off. But if there is no real competition in the space, there won’t be any real innovation. And the innovation is what will drive the growth over the long term.

Hopefully Barnes and Noble will fix these problems over time and we’ll start to see a vibrant e-reader market soon.
