IF B & N can get the selection of Amazon (so far in my experience they are still behind in this area), then yes.. Amazon is in trouble. The openness (by this I mean available to PC, Mac, etc without having to buy a dedicated device),the fact that they're going to support ePub (which everyone seems to be going to, check out the latest ebook releases and see just how many are available in ePub only...), and that astounding LendMe feature, should already have Amazon shaking.

I will be making plans to be in the closest B&N store Dec. 4th (the nearest weekend to Nov. 30th). to do a hands on. So far the only thing I don't like is that I haven't seen folder support. While the LCD scroll through is neat with the colors and the covers, it's not very practical for me - I have too many books. But if they have something that hasn't been announced for that, (I notice the press conference was light on technical aspects), then I may yet end up getting one.
