nook's biggest competitor is the Kindle, and the Kindle is not being offered at Walmart, yet anyway. Being sold on Amazon is obviously a huge advantage for the Kindle, but being sold at Walmart while Kindle isn't will hopefully help the nook's percentage grow.

If the story is true the new Nook should be awesome and sell a ton. But the price has got to be reasonable.

Wanna bet Kindle will suddenly come out with a color version in a month or two?

And now Amazon announces the following:
"later this year, we will be introducing lending for Kindle, a new feature that lets you loan your Kindle books to other Kindle device or Kindle app users. Each book can be lent once for a loan period of 14-days and the lender cannot read the book during the loan period. Additionally, not all e-books will be lendable - this is solely up to the publisher or rights holder, who determines which titles are enabled for lending."

Hmmmm where have I heard that feature before. Oh yeah "Lend Me" from Barnes and Noble, had it from launch.

Kinda sounds like the Kindle is playing catch up on features.

That's cool. It would be nice if publishers gave a bit more on it, like the ability to loan the book out more than once and for a longer time period.

The Kindle is sold at Target, Wal-Mart's biggest rival.

I'm wondering why this board doesn't have a "ignore" feature for users. I would love to be able to specify that I don't want to see tubemonkey posts.
