I don't have a problem with Bezo's answers. She started the interviewing by asking him what he thought of a competitor's fancy new product. Who does that?

His response that he didn't want to discuss their product was certainly appropriate. Her very next question was another Nook related question. No wonder Bezos came off like he was in a bad mood -- he probably was.

I also happen to agree with his answer. I ordered the Nook but cancelled it when I found out how lame their lending feature actually was. I felt like B&N was pulling a bait and switch.

YOU CAN LEND BOOKS TO FRIENDS IF YOU BUY A NOOK!!!
Fineprint: Only if the publisher allows it. Only for 14 days. Only to one person. You can lend out the book once and once only -- ever!
