Let’s see…
Both screens are just about the same except for that color portion on the nook for navigation.
The nook is a little heavier, and holds up to 1500 ebooks in internal memory just like Kindle 2…nothing original there.
Kindle 2 has ‘experimental’ internet access, Nook does not.
Nook offers access to over 500,000 B&N ebooks….100,000 overall content from various sources…no specifics here. Also it offers magazines and newspapers just like the Kindles. Kindle 2 on the other hand only offer access to 350,ooo Amazon ebooks…plus access to numerous free ebooks from other sources. Also, you can access, blogs, magazines, newspaper, and personal documents.
The Nook allows you to loan books to friends …the catch – you must read it within two weeks before it’s gone. Amazon Kindle does offer this service…yet!
Both devices offer wireless content download. Nook offers wi-fi as well. I don’t understand the need for this if you already have wireless access to content via AT&T’s network…plus many of these wi-fi channels require a password.
Nooks syncs to more devices for now.
Amazon Kindle 2 offers more formats minus ePub.
Finally the Kindle has gone international…which means access to more customers worldwide. Nook is local…for now.
So which device is better? You make the call!
In my opinion, It really depends on what you are looking for in an eBook reader. I am happy with my Kindle 2 and I expected Amazon to make upgrades soon to counter the Nook…so though the Nook may have won battles in some areas and Kindle in other areas, the war is far from over.
If you ask me, these are the two best ebook readers on the market right now in terms of features. Sony’s reader digital book touch edition is running a close third…and should upgrade as well to stay competitive.
I want to thank you for this excellent read!! I definitely enjoying each and every small bit of it I have you bookmarked to have a look at new stuff you post
