Amazon actually upgrades their software a lot. The most recent update (before the new Kindle came out) for the second generation Kindle added folders, native PDF support, PDF pan and zoom, larger font sizes, password protection, facebook/twitter links, and password protection. They don't simply just "dump a new reader out there." I've always gotten the impression that B&N is just playing catch up, trying to offer a lot of the same features that Amazon does. (To be fair, though, Amazon is doing the same thing. They're copying B&N's LendMe feature for lending books.)

Kindle is all DRM. For that reason, I'm wary.

unless you're into uncommon titles and textbooks, I don't see why one needs Amazon's market.

Is the type pad extra slow? Or is it just as good as the average touchscreen?

The touch pad is a bit slow, but it's never detracted from the performance for me
