true. in fact, when people in my family were considering the kindle vs the nook, every one of them decided on the kindle after checking out the nook store. i haven't been to the nook store since i got my kindle, but i found it clunky and annoying to use at the time - it may have improved since then.

Would you rather be locked in to Amazon's eBook store or B&N's?
Amazon's video offerings or B&N's?
Amazon's app store or B&N's?
B&N are trying to play the same game as Amazon, but just aren't as good at it.
