Barnes and Noble's Nook May Not Ring Death Knell for Amazon's Kindle

What a poorly supported column. The kindle's following and loyalty are not even in the same universe as that of the ipod. You even admit you're not a "gadget guy" further eroding the credibility.

I travel a lot for work and own a kindle. It is functional but has many shortcomings (eg, no backlight, poor wireless reception, slow, pricey). As soon as a better alternative comes out I will stop using the kindle. I will look closely at the nook but probably wait for Apple's response.

Sorry guys, you are incorrect here. Kindle is functional but severely lacking for the price.
