What concerns me is that B&N entered an already competitive market with a half finished product. I understand that many of the nook's problems will PROBABLY be fixed with a firmware update, but it seems as though these problems were ones that easily could have been determined in the testing phase, and if they weren't B&N should have been working overtime to have a firmware update out there by now.
The Kindle may be less advanced, but it has the support of a company that is economically strong, has more of an interest in supporting e-books (B&N has to worry about eating into the business of its physical stores) and has more knowledge about the business. I don't doubt Amazon is looking at the Nook and figuring out how to take its innovations and make them their own, plus some.
