Patents are touchy. They should have known they were infringing.

That's a shame. People should work together in times like this. Not steal great ideas. I personally like the look of the nook better. The other one looks way to stretched.

If no one stole, technology would get nowhere.

Terrible practices by Barns&Noble, first refusing to partner with Spring Design, then blatently stealing the product and trying to pass it off as their own. Assuming, the claims by Spring Design are truthful, it's a battle between the lawyers now.

It'd be nice if patents only applied to real innovation.
I can understand a patent for the first electric lamp, but the guy that got the follow-up patent for the first electric lamp with two bulbs just annoys me.
Then again, I also think the idiots running around patenting things that other people are already doing, like the "human shaped avatar based social space" patent guys who are suing every internet gaming company they can, should be tarred and feathered.
