The Nook and Kindle drop below $200

So sayeth the New York Times. And that sounds like great news -- I have the Kindle and Nook apps for both my iPhone and my netbook; I'd really love to own a dedicated e-reader. On the other hand: If the price is coming down this much, this quickly, does that mean dedicated e-readers are about to become extinct? Choices, choices.

I have a Kindle, Ted has a Nook. I like my Kindle better, he likes his Nook better - I think it comes down to what you had first and you are used too. Kindle definitely has much better costumer service. Mine broke after over a year and they just send me a new one (and no I had no extended warranty). Ted's Nook was messed up right out of the box and they gave him a very hard time exchanging it 12 hours later.

I don't think they'll become extinct. The money is in the content, so the content providers will do the same thing cell companies do: Take a loss on their reader in order to lock you in to their content.

Nothing good comes ever from this kind of talk. MAGA is going to end the American age, and it's possible that will turn out for the best...
