Why I won't buy a Nook

If I buy an e-book device, I need to know that the service that backs it will be around forever. Kind of like a book. A book will sit on my shelf for-ev-er -- or at least until someone moves it.

I know Amazon has the resources and foresight to see this through all the way. The only other company that probably has the ability to be enduring in this way? Apple.

I'm certainly thankful for the Nook though -- it pushes new features and great ideas like the capacitive color touch screen below. Looking forward to the Kindle 3...
