I expect that Amazon will be selling a Kindle Tablet by the end of this coming summer. I'll wait for that.
B&N is stupid not to allow Kindle apps. I spend far more money on eReader Devices than on eBooks. They could have made another $ 250 from me which is the equivalent of TWENTY-FIVE ebooks. I only read about 5 to 6 ebooks every year.
Actually, all the eReader manufacturers, Amazon, Sony and B&N, should make their eReaders compatible with everyone's ebooks. They could make far more money allowing us gadget freaks to buy all their eReaders and read all eBooks with them. The eReaders cost the big bucks versus neglible costs for the eBooks.
So far I've purchased a Sony PRS 900 eReader now being used by my wife, a Nook Color to be given to my granddaughter on her birthday and an Amazon Kindle 3 for my own eReading. I used to own a Sony PRS 505 which I gave to my granddaughter last year.
If they made all their eBooks compatible with all three manufacturers, I'd be buying their eReaders every year to have the latest and greatest. Their real revenue is in sales of the eReaders, not the eBooks.
