I did it all for the nookie, c'mon. The nookie, c'mon. So you can take that cookie. And stick it up your yeah!

Nook Simple Touch now 25% faster, crisper and ad-free for $99.

It would seem I can get the faster/crisper update via a software update.  Sweet.
Well, except that the current version of the root isn't yet compatible. Not sweet.

Amazon orders 1M additional Kindle Fire tablets

Amazon had previously ordered 4 million Fires, but has bumped that number up to 5 million in light of heavy demand for the $199 tablet

A quick comparison of the Transformer, iPad2, Fire and Nook Tablet:

This one from PC Magazine works too:

More storage, better battery life, previous model very easily rooted, more memory... Sounds like the Nook Tablet is a no-brainer.

I am not buying a tablet of any kind but I am just wondering. Don't you think Amazon as a brand is better than Barnes and Noble in general. I guess I am wondering why Borders failed and Barnes and Noble is still here. What if B&N fails?

Amazon Fire has no additional memory because if you buy it through Amazon you get free Cloud storage. I have been spendign more time on Amazon and none on B&N sites.

For the average consumer, the Fire would be a better deal. For the technogeek, the Nook Tablet. I'm torn.

B&N sells theirs through Books-A-Million as well, as well the Buy-More. If B&N went tango uniform, Amazon would probably buy the B&N brick and mortar stores and support it.
