I know. The B&N Nook has been trubbling Amazon for a while. When ever people are thinking "should I get a Nook or a Kindle?", they think of Nook's features such as its color touch screen and LendMe feature. They often don't know that it's a lame feature until they buy a Nook, and by that time, Amazon have lost another customer. Amazon added it for quick money, which is a little out of character as the usually use the stratagy where good customer service brings even more customers and makes dedicated owners (It works well, to - I've already convinced 7 people to get Kindles!).
I've never used a Nook, so I don't know how good or bad LendMe is. The thing I'm excited about is the prospect of hacks utiling this feature for other (and more useful) purposes.
Sadly, I can't seem to get this faulty hack off my Kindle so I don't know if update 3.1 (at least I think it'll come out in 3.1) will be able to install. Can an official OTA firmware update install correctly with the USB Network hack installed?
