Bezos: "No comment on the Nook, but do you know how lame lending is?"
Quote:
What do you think of the Nook, for instance, from Barnes & Noble?
We have a long tradition of not talking about other companies, which I’ll stick to.
Barnes & Noble claims on its Web site that the Nook has several advantages over the Kindle — for one thing, a Nook book can be lent to friends. You can forward the text to another user.
The current thing being talked about is extremely limited. You can lend to one friend. One time. You can’t pick two friends, not even serially, so once you’ve loaned one book to one friend, that’s it.
You have to pick just one person? What are you saying? It’s like “Sophie’s Choice”?
It is “Sophie’s Choice.” Very nicely done.
