E-Readers are going to be the next medium to access on-demand news, and information. They are portable, and perform a simple function. Kindle will be a huge factor in boosting revenue for Amazon.

Many (most) computer companies (DELL, IBM, HP, etc) are slowly waking up to the new way that computing is being delivered - via the "cloud" - but Amazon has been pioneering for this for many years. With Amazon's experience and scale, it's going to be very hard for new entrants to compete (MSFT and ORCL for example), except at the higher Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) levels. By the end of this year, expect the market to wake up to the fact that Amazon has become not just the way things are sold, but also the way information is computed and distributed. (Remember that CEO Jeff Bezos is a Compu...

Barnes & Noble: A Sale on BKS

The price war between Amazon (AMZN) and Wal-Mart (WMT) over best-selling books got a lot of press recently. It hasn't done Barnes & Noble (BKS) shares any good.

Never mind that Barnes & Noble is working closely with Wal-Mart and that best-sellers account for only 3 to 5 percent of BKS' sales. Conventional wisdom says that BKS is the second coming of dinosaur Blockbuster Video (BBI).

<>U.S. stocks posted modest gains Friday even as a surprisingly weak jobs report failed to deter investors from taking a broader view that the economy is improving.  Analysts’ upgrade of General Electric and Amazon.com helped the market keep its head above water as many on the Street averred the worst for the labor market was over.  Although the unemployment rate – at its highest level in 26 years – aggravated concerns about consumer spending, it nevertheless reassured some investors that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates near historically low levels in the near future.      <><><><><><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...

Barnes and Noble's Nook already makes a splash

Filed under: Competitive strategy, Google (GOOG), Amazon.com (AMZN), Media World, Technology

<>If Amazon (AMZN) was comfortable with its spot atop the e-reader market, it just got a wakeup call from Barnes & Noble (BKS). The brick-and-mortar book retailer's e-reader, the Nook, which hasn't even hit stores yet, is in pre-order nirvana right now.

High demand resulted in backorders, so the next wave of pre-orders was scheduled to ship o...
