I used Top Ten Reviews to
compare the Nook Color and Kindle Fire. I chose these two to compare because
they both came out around the same time and seemed to compare well to each
other when they came out. This site is hard to use to compare two different
eReaders, but is manageable. I do like how all of the technical data is written
under a floating picture of the device.
Both
eReaders are rated as excellent all scored over a 9 in their rating. Both of
these ereaders are 7in touch screens and the nook is slightly larger for overall
size. The Nook is not setup to read blogs as the Kindle is. Other data that
could be compared is the Nook has over 2.5million books, 160 magazine titles,
and 36 newspaper titles available. The Kindle has 1.6million ebooks, 272
magazine titles, and 9 newspapers available at the bookstore. These are the
important facts to someone who might be worried about the availability of not
so mainstream books. The Nook does have quite a bit more expandable memory up
to 32GB the Kindle Fire only goes to 6GB. And as far as software they both seem
to compare some different formats.
As my closing
comments my wife has a Nook Color and I really enjoy reading on it. I do not
think that eReaders will become useless but I do think that they will end up
being like cell phones. As soon as one comes out the next best thing will be in
Research and Development. I also really feel that the only other place eReaders
could go is Books on Audio File!?!? Sounds good to me.
