True. That likely factored into it; they really can't let Borders get too much traction.
But also because they *could* build a WiFi Nook to sell for $149.
B&N is no more in business to lose money than Amazon is.
I'm not sure we've seen the end of hardware reader price cuts for the year but I doubt it'll be anything like the Nook's 40% cut to the price of admission.
