And I expect that tablet devices similarly priced with similiar features that are not locked will be released sometime soon.
I don't bother comparing the Kindle to the Nook Color because they are different devices that do different things.
The Kindle is an e-reader with some experimental features that are nice extras if you use them. It does what it is suppose to do very well. It reads books and allows me to organize them, highlight in them, annotate them, and the battery lasts forever. It is priced nicely and has access to the best e-book store in the country.
The Nook Color is a tablet with an LCD screen that does its job well. If someone wants an LCD screen and wants to be able to watch video and do 9000 other things then the Nook Color is a great option. And in the not so distant future there will be tablets that do everything the Nook Color does and then some for the same price.
If I were to compare the Nook Color to anything it would be the IPad and I have a sneaking suspicion that the only thing that the Nook Color would win on would be price.
