Agreed. Many forget that when the original nook came out, B&N was new to eReaders, and within a year they had a tablet out, which at the time was a benchmark for the price/performance it offered; it forced Amazon to change gears and start looking at LCD tablets and not just eInk. They did well with the follow ups, but they never had the engineering power of big companies to make a big dent in the market.
