Regardless of which is better, the Nook versus Kindle competition has set the new price point for the Non iPad tablet: $200-$250.

    Amazon announced the Kindle Fire 2, though no specs yet. This will be the Kindle Fire they wanted to make but rushed and let the manufacturer spec it out so it would be out in time for the holidays. The cost point for Amazon should be less and may let them compete even more without offering a coupon.
