New Nook!

PeterWalk

Get excited, Barnes and Noble is revealing a brand new nook e-Reader coming up in the next week to try and compete with Amazon’s new Kindle fire hybrid tablet and e-reader. The Fire apparently will be able to support apps and be able to stream movies and television shows through it.  Maybe this new Nook will be able to do that as well, but, this is just competition for the Fire.

Now, excuse me for not being overtly excited for this new Nook, it could be that I’m not exactly the world’s biggest reader, heck I read most stuff from Twitter. But, anyway, these e-readers may slowly be fading away, as the iPad and other tablets running on Android are quickly replacing these single use devices. The smartphone is quickly replacing the traditional iPods, GPS, and digital camera, as all of these are available in one smartphone. Granted, the newer the phone the better all these features are, but my hunch is that while Barnes and Noble and Amazon will continue to release new versions of their e-readers, they still will not come close to the storage capacity and the overall usefulness of an iPad or other Android powered tablet.

Plus, as these tablets continue to get more and more popular, the price will inevitably drop. Look at high definition televisions, as a prime example. These televisions used to cost upwards of $2000 or more for a 50″ television with 1080p and 120 Hz. But, now that price has dropped in half, due to more and more homes in America having them. And, with more and more folks getting tablet computers, the price will be dropping within a few years and e-readers will be non existent.

So, I don’t like how B&N is bringing out a new Nook, while it may work for some, it won’t work for most.
