He's publishing online; of course he wants eyeballs. But not many people know that the Nook can do double duty as an entry level tablet, with access to the full Android market. Given the cheaper price, I'd say this is a worthwhile article, in the sense that it will probably steer certain people away from overpaying for designer tech they don't need.

All accurate. I'm with you. I'm simply saying the iPad comparison is not real, just a vehicle to get eyeballs.

Of course it is real, you can compare anything. You can compare a bicycle to a SUV (or 4WD), there is nothing wrong with doing that.

And the book does make a decent cheap tablet, not as good as a full tablet, but it does a lot of stuff, more than an just read books.

I do not understand people who get upset at these comparisons.
