I mean, B&N did launch a color reader tablet well before Amazon, and Kindle Fire is a "me too!" to what B&N did first.

It's not about the nook color, that's just one small aspect it's about the entire ebook ecosystem. Amazon has been heading that direction for a long time, B&N resisted getting into the ebook world for most of that time until finally 'forced' to product the nook -- and done somewhat badly with the split screen etc. They continue to have issues with supplying content and are a small part of the overall book and ebook market. The one bright spot in the adventure has been the pricing of the nook color and the ability to root it. -- I almost bought one just for that aspect but in the end did not and now the Kindle Fire has arrived and has easy access to Amazon....and I have no need (or much desire) to root it.
