I was reading ebooks on an iPod touch. In 2011 I decided I wanted a dedicated reading device. Nook released the Nook Tablet and Amazon released the Kindle fire. A friend of mine was excited about the Kindle. I told her to check out the Nook. She said it cost $50 more. I told her it had more memory, a faster processor and could read books from the library. She didn’t care. It was cheaper so she bought the Kindle. I bought the Nook. I didn’t buy a Kindle until the Voyage came out. By that time Barnes & Noble was really fumbling the whole Nook platform. I did know about Kobo then, but I wanted to stay with a US company.
