I don’t think necessarily so since it appears that Barnes and Noble will be offering other ereaders other than their own access to their online bookstore. The Que line of ereaders from Plastic Logic will be using and supported by the Barnes and Noble online bookstore. I am guessing others will line up with Barnes and Noble also to compete against Amazon. Finally, you can buy from multiple stores offering the epub or pdf formats or even check out online books from the local library. I don’t believe these are available options on Kindle.

How is the Nook that much better when switch11′s review says that Nook ebooks can’t be read on a Sony Reader and its ebooks still have DRM? Aren’t your choices also limited if you buy a library of Nook ebooks?

I think the most important feature of the Nook, its support for open formats, is not being emphasized enough. Likewise, Kindle’s proprietary format, makes me reluctant to buy one. What happens to my investment in ebooks in the Kindle proprietary format when multiple ereader options become available over the next several years? It limits me to buying another Kindle. Also having wifi is important if cell phone service coverage is poor.

As always, an extensive and well-thought article and review. I say the following as constructive criticism and not as a complaint, because I think others may feel the same way and I really, really like your blog.

I had to stop watching the video half-way through as it was uncomfortable. Focusing at short distances is difficult but when trying to show the clarity or otherwise of an eReader screen, it’s pretty crucial. Perhaps if you used a tripod and brought the screen to the camera instead of trying to juggle with both. If you are able to switch off auto-focus and practice with set distances for the correct view, this might solve the problem.

Having said that, even without the video, the work you put into your posts is evident, valuable and highly appreciated. Thanks.
