Suppose you are one of those people who still haven’t quite gotten into the whole online ordering fad? You like to give all your stuff a test drive before you buy. You like to play with the display model a bit to see if it fits you and your style before you commit your money.
This is where the Barnes and Noble nook has won out over the Kindle; because the Nook is universally known to be available for try and buy at your local Barnes and Noble booksellers storefront. The Kindle, traditionally, was only available online at Amazon.com.
Well, the good news is that you can now try out the Kindle before buying too – at your local Target, Best Buy, Staples and Radio Shack stores.
For a lot of you, this might be old news, but with the news that the Nook will now be available at Radio Shack, I thought it was timely enough to tell you that while everybody knows where to test-drive a Nook, some of you may not have known about the Kindle also being available offline.
I remember going into Target to view the Kindle just when the 3rd generation was released. It took Target about 2 weeks to get the new Kindle – so even though the offline stores might have the currently available versions now, they may take a while to get newer versions.
