The price drop is because the Nook Tablet is coming out later this year.

The indication would be that it will continue to be sold alongside the new nook tablet, two different offerings, one matching the fire albeit with a single core, the other besting it at a $50 premium.

I can't imagine they would continue with both models

They are virtually identical:

Minor cosmetic changes,
added dual core processor,
increased memory...
.but other than that the same..

......but hey....ya never know.

oh and The Nook Tablet is not "besting it" -- it really depends on your needs. The Fire and Nook Tablet are identical as far as dual core processors. The Nook has an edge in internal memory and having an SD slot, but I've yet to actually need an SD card on any of my book readers or tablets, so it's a big meeeehhh to me.

I see your point, but even if you don't need it, there is no denying that the nook tablet has better hardware : faster cpu, twice the RAM and twice the internal storage. Wheher that justifies the extra $50 is for each one to decide.

...and mSD slot. Those specs easily justify the extra $50 for a tablet. Once the folks at Cyanogen root this thing, I'm getting one. I'll then give my NC1 away.

Well, it's not just a matter of hardware, which I've already explained is of little consequence when you are talking ebooks -- as I said the processors are identical that .2 is really irrelevant speedwise the main difference is the memory and that has never been an issue for me or many.

The other main difference of course is the infrastructure B&N vs Amazon and as far as I'm concerned there is no comparison, Amazon wins by a mile.

But....to each his own, I hear what you are saying, can't say I agree but I hear it.

I'm with you on this one. Though the fact it comes with netflix HD might imply it won't be as easy to root.
