the most important decision is based on the bookstore service

1. the B&N ebook store is a lot more expensive
2. for ebooks, googlebooks is completely useless because of the poor optical character recognition. there are so many mistakes in the books that it is actually better not to read the book at all than to read the book with all the mistakes
3. B&N will eventually end up like Blockbuster as their business model is obsolete. if u actually believe B&N's ebook will be successful this would mean that the rest of their business will be obsolete....thus u should not buy their reader. this will leave u with an expensive paperweight. amazon's business model is the model of the future.

I think Amazon should respond by putting kindles in some retail stores.
