Kindle’s Slide Begins

Seven months before my prediction of Kindle’s slide into obscurity, Barnes and Noble today released their e-reader called the Nook.  With wifi, 3G, a color touchscreen, and several other unique goodies, the device is available for pre-order for $259, the same price point as the Kindle.  Amazon did well to jump-start the e-reader market segment, but now is the time for them to license out the Kindle software and leave the hardware to people who really know how to make hardware.
