Keeping an eye on reading means Barnes & Noble can keep costs down. Amazon's Kindle Fire is made of powerful stuff, with a dual-core processor designed to handle multimedia streaming and games. A next-generation reader's tablet doesn't have to have that level of specs, so Barnes & Noble could undercut even Amazon's loss-leader $199 price. The company almost has to.
I wonder how much it costs B&N to make the current NC1? A price of $175 would really shake up Amazon.

An ereader tablet at $175 and a straight tablet at $250 is a powerful one, two punch.
