EZ-Readers


            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.
