Browsing the ereader aisle with the Motley Fool

My husband follows the maverick financial advisors Motley Fool (two brothers whose parents taught them about the stock market when they were teens), so I was interested this morning when they cropped up on Publisher’s Martplace‘s Publisher’s Lunch writing about the Kindle. I looked them up and found an article from December, 2007, blasting Amazon for the Kindle’s $399 pricetag and the disingenious marketing technique of claiming to have sold out in six hours. They predicted the Kindle price would be slashed to $199. Going price right now? $265. So they were 3/4 right, which is pretty good when you’re prophecizing on a brand-new phenomenon from a major industry player. Of course, we all know all about the Kindle now. . .but in December 2007 it was still just St. Elmo’s Fire.

But while we’re with them, let’s read the Motley Fools’ expert opinions on such ereaders as the iPad. The Kindle vs. iPad. The Nook. Sony & Sony. Google’s GPad. The Courier from behemoths Microsoft/Hewlett-Packard. And. . .Nintendo?

Are they right? Are they insane? And are there other ereaders out there they haven’t covered yet?
