Good question if you ask me. My take on this is that Amazon has felt in control of the market/industry right up until the B&N announcement. |

BIG difference between 'running scared' and being competitive. And that's good... the more competitive these get the better it'll be for all of us.
But Amazon is hardly 'running scared.' |

I'd rather use this on my tablet in portrait mode than in landscape mode on a netbook or anything of that sort, myself.
Hopefully this will be better than other PC ebook reading software, which is decent, but nothing special - in my opinion the bigger issue with the PC reading experience isn't reading it on the PC, but the fact that there's no really good software for it. And since I'd want to use it on the tablet, too bad it probably won't allow handwritten notes - only one that does that is the MS Reader for Tablets and that's just horrible software. |

No, but again - why should I be paying attention to a company bring in a PC app late, which does the minimum and still has all the hallmarks and DRM of the company's control freak nature stamped all over it?
