Am I crazy or was TIP talking about Kindle Fire recently?
My bday is in a few weeks and trying to decide if I want the Kindle Fire or the Nook Tablet. Posted on SO about it but no one is telling me WHY they chose what they did.
Thought you ladies were having a discussion on this recently so I decided to pop on over to TIP.....

Re: Am I crazy or was TIP talking about Kindle Fire recently?
Amazon is offering refurbed Kindle Fires for $145 atm, so.
I have a Nook Color (not the Tablet). I chose it because I got it last March before the Fire was a thing. I do love it, but if I were buying it today, I'd get a Kindle in a heartbeat.

Short answer: more sh*t.
Long answer: B&N only went digital because the writing was on the wall in terms of print vs digital, and now there are rumblings about them spinning off the e-division altogether. Amazon has more money to subsidize their readers, has better infrastructure to provide e-support, and also operates like Amazon usually does with pricing... it is very rare I see a Nook book for cheaper than a Kindle book.
Anecdote-wise, initially the Fire was going to be an Android tablet like the Nook. Except, Google demanded ALL of Amazon's user data in exchange for the Android license. Bezos told them to f*ck themselves, and the Fire's OS was built from scratch. I really like that.
And, I lied. They're $139.
I've had my Kindle for 2 years and have never had anything removed. Amazon's customer service is second to none and the product is just better. And it's nice to have Amazon's great prices and variety to deal with rather than B&N.

I think the only paid erotica they pulled involved pedophilia themes.
However, I have noticed that some of the free erotica I've downloaded disappears, then when I go to find it on Amazon, it's no longer free. To me, it's not a huge deal, since there's a shitton of free erotica available on the web, and if Amazon wants to only give it to me for a limited time, who am I to complain? I didn't pay for it in the first place.
No, some of the paid erotica they deleted had homosexual themes.
I haven't seen a credible source that confirmed that. And there is still plenty of homosexual erotica available on Amazon.
By the way, I was just re-reading the NYT article you originally posted about this like a year ago. I'm a little confused... it says copies of the HP series were removed. HP wasn't available in e-form until 2 days ago. This article is from 2009. I think a lot of this is just conspiracy theory crap. If anyone DID have a copy of HP, they had it illegally... as at the time this article was written... it was THREE YEARS AWAY!
