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.

Not to add fuel to the fire or anything here, but when RobertB of Astak did this exact same thing about the Cool-er, he got jumped on from here to San Francisco. If we're going to excuse Bezos for doing it, then we have to excuse RobertB too. Admittedly, RobertB didn't beat around the bush with his answer like Bezos tried to, but still.
