Quick Thoughts on the Kindle 3… I mean Nook

I read the press coverage of the Barnes and Noble Nook announcement last week, but it wasn’t until recently that I finally checked out the Nook product page on barnesandnoble.com.

My first thought after watching the introductory video was they should have just named the Nook the Kindle 3.  It’s as if they reverse-engineered a Kindle, added the ten most requested features, and then slapped a different name on it.

Actually, come to think of it… that is probably exactly what they did.
