Very recently, major price drops and device updates were announced for Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes & Noble’s Nook, further increasing competition between these e-reader devices and the iPad. Because of these new revelations, the absence of connectivity fees (whereas the iPad still costs to connect), and the fact that they are made specifically for book-enjoying purposes, these e-reader specific devices are beginning to look more attractive to avid readers. On the flip side though, the iPad does allow its users to do a wide range of things that e-reader devices do not.

Will people begin making a switch from Apple products to e-readers? Will apps continue to suffice — or not?

Looks like the hawkers of Android wares, Amazon among them, are starting to complete aggressively on price. Amazon is selling the Samsung Captivate for $0.01 with a 2 year contract.
