I don't know how much I would use it since I have my Kindle in my laptop bag, but I'm all for having options.&nbsp;</p>

Yawn. The Kindle was hot until B & N announced the Nook. If Apple drops the ball and doesn't announce a tablet by the end of Jan, I'm buying the Nook.

I guess for me it is the whole process, which is very very easy via Amazon.com. If B&N had a similar process I'd consider swapping, possibly. I'm just so used to how it all works seamlessly with the Kindle that I seriously doubt anyone can top it.

Since we are on book readers, interesting opinion piece (http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/apples_itablet_will_erase_the_dedicated_book_readers/) from The Mac Observer on if/when Apple builds tablet, it will take over the e-book market.

Wouldn't have to top it just be equal in the delivery and execution. The Nook from a hardware POV is superior IMO and it's running Android which opens other possibilities down the line.
