Barnes & Noble vs Amazon - cheers cheers price war?
Today it became known that after Barnes & Noble reduced the price for the reader Nook, Amazon reduced the price by $ 70. The Kindle now costs $ 189 and is ten dollars cheaper than a similar Nook.
Cheaper Kindle and Nook are now in the same price segment as Borders Kobo readers ($ 150) and Sony Reader Pocket Edition ($ 199). However, neither Kobo, nor Sony Reader Pocket Edition is a bvt.n 3G module, and they need to be connected to a computer to download content, so it’s difficult to consider them as rivals.
On the whole, the price war that has begun, as users, cannot but rejoice. However, it is worth considering another such moment: if the price decline for the Kindle was triggered by the pricing policy of Barnes & Noble, then globally the market is under strong pressure from tablets and, in the first place, the Apple iPad. Considering that the starting price for a multifunctional iPad is $ 499, and Android-based tablets make their debut on the market at an even lower price, Amazon and Barnes & Noble would have been very difficult to justify the previous price of their readers.
