I'm sure there is something Amazon can do to distinguish the upcoming tablet, but what worries me is that I don't know what it is. What will they be able to do with their tablet that they wouldn't be able to do by putting their software on everyone else's tablet?
That is the Nook's screen; and yes, I just described a Nook Color with a bit more speed and locked into Amazon's ecosystem.
