Hookers are us
There are special times in history when peoples actions screw the rest of us over and over again. This is one of those days that the actions are so clear its like a mirror. Well thanks to both barnes and noble and amazon it looks like the ipad is slowing turning into a device that's just succeeds because there is nothing left to dispute it. Almost like a champion(paper champion) that has nobody to fight in his weight class and then never leaves it or defends the title. It seems that for some stupid reason or another amazon and barnes and noble will give the ipad access to their products as far as ebooks. Why you may ask. Well as someone confirmed online, both companies are helping each other because they really are seeking the opposite of what they sale. Like amazon and barnes and noble are really seeking book sales by putting out a hardware device to push that and apple is really seeking hardware sales using software to sell it. So in a nut shell b/n and amazon just screwed us all because they had no attention on truly given us their all toward the devices. It was just smoke and mirrors to trick us into buying more software(ebooks). So if this is true then where does that leave the hardware in terms of attention and support if your true motive is to support "any" hardware to sale your books and not focus on making your hardware, that we invested in, truly the best? I'll tell you. It leads to these products slowly disappearing because they will focus more on making the ipad look better because this is where they will force the sales to go thanks to all this. And you can't blame apple, in fact all you can do is tip your hat to them for accepting the free special massage;) from these two paid hookers that laid out everything without a even a hello. Barnes and noble and amazon deserves to have their butts handed to them in terms of outright drop in sales for both the nook and the kindle because of this. And to really make them look bad apple still has its own store separate from them so its still not even truly giving back all its support while getting theirs. Its just a shame that their actions will end up messing up things for the true fans of the ebooks because of the prices that apple has already started to screw with. I know if I knew that amazon or barnes and noble weren't really interested in truly supporting the hardware and all they wanted was a platform to sale more books I would have never invested in their product. I would have just waited and invested in this ipad or whatever device it ended up being. Way to go apple, doors are open and beds are made so you come on in and take over please. Barnes and noble and amazon have become the digital memphis grizzlies (giving away Pau Gasol to the lakers to help them win the nba championship) of the ebook world.
