Kindle Fire vs. Nook Tablet: Which one wins?

Both models perform well for reading If you're looking to replace books with an e-reader, you'll be glad to know that both models perform very well. The screens are nearly identical and the resolution is good. Both devices offer several fonts, font sizes and line-spacing options so that reading can be tailored to your needs. I found the Nook Tablet's touchscreen to be a bit more responsive. The Fire often stuttered just a bit when I tapped it to advance book pages. This stutter on the Fire made navigation on the home screen difficult. The Fire uses a carousel of apps and books as its main navigation tool to switch between tasks. I found I was often advancing one step past where I wanted to go. The Kindle Fire also crashed once while I was trying to open a book. The Nook Tablet has a bit of an edge when it comes to children's books because it has a large collection of interactive books. Parents can also use the Nook Tablet's microphone to record their own narration. The Fire does not have a microphone.

Kindle Fire vs. Nook. review

The fastest, lightest ereader with the best in HD entertainment the low-cost Android tablet space is heating up. And just in time for the holidays. Barnes & Noble today unveiled the Nook Tablet, a beefed-up follow-up to the popular Nook Color ebook  reader/tablet. The Nook Color also remains in the company's arsenal, but with a lower price. The Nook Color is available now, while the Nook Tablet is available for pre-order and ships by November 18. Amazon, meanwhile, last month took the wraps of its first color touch-screen ereader/tablet, the Kindle Fire, which is currently on pre-order and ships by November 15. The big draw with these tablets is a tight focus on media consumption including video, music, and, most importantly books. The Kindle Fire taps into Amazon's massive book store, newsstand, and MP3 and video stores, while the cloud-accelerated Silk browser promises to deliver speedy Web browsing. The Nook devices offer on-device access to millions of books and magazines in the B&N book store, and the Nook Tablet is pre-loaded with Netflix and Hulu Plus for video.
