Kindle Beats Nook: Amazon

Kindle Beats Nook: Amazon

Amazon registers domain name flouting recent Consumer Notes rankings.

NookEarlier this month Consumer Notes released updated eBook reader ratings, declaring “Nook beats Kindle“.

That certainly didn’t go well with Jeff Bezos.

So the firm just registered the domain name KindleBeatsNook.com.

When it comes to domain names, perhaps Consumer Notes ought to give Amazon a higher rating than Barnes & Noble. Following all, no one (yet) has registered NookBeatsKindle.com. And no, I don’t think this is a trademark issue on a domain like this.

I’m not a fan of Consumer Notes’ ratings when it comes to newer gadgets, so I’ll stick to my Kindle…which I often times access via my iPad anyway.

KindleBeatsNook.com does not right now resolve.
