You Go Amazon!

I'm now looking forward to what they will do with the 10" tablet.

no doubt full court press , especially with the pricing on the Special Offers models. The non ads, the nook STR is priced well. I don't see anything compelling on the kindle touch side that stands out. So it'll be a wait and see if the ad supported kindles just blows all others away even the non ad supported which could cause some canniblilism. If so BN will have to seek an alternative to it. It's product can without a doubt compete but that ad supported $99 is going to be tough to match.

the nook color 2 could strike back but it will need to have a dual core processor and it'll have to pull in NetFlix, and possibly Hulu+ and Vudu. If it does that and at least brings the price down to like $225 or $215 it'll be just fine and we'll have ourselfs a nice ereader tablet war for the holiday season
