Nook eReader: how Amazon got out-Amazon'd!

via barnesandnoble.com

Amazon has been eating Barne's & Noble's lunch for almost a decade, now. B&N have finally taken off the gloves. (Excuse the mixing of metaphors.)

How? With Barnes & Noble's Nook, an eBook reader/device. These guys did a great job on this product. It's like an iPhone and a Kindle mated and had an offspring. Click the link above to read all the details.

Killer feature: you can lend an eBook to someone! Plus: wifi, try it in a store (after Nov 30), touch-screen navigation panel...more on the site.

Kindle publications now on iPhone

Kindle books on the iPhone are very readable thus far. I was able to set the type size to be small enough so I felt like I was looking at a page, yet large enough to read comfortably.

I'm going see if I can finish this book that Sean loaned me as a paperback, on my iPhone/Kindle. I'll let you know how it goes. MJ has been reluctant to get an iPhone, but this new development has her attention. She has a birthday and wedding anniversary, so...fingies crossed.
