Nook Tablet or Kindle fire?

If your main use is reading (in school), a cheaper alternative would be either the Kindle or Nook E-Ink reader which would only cost $100. I just purchased a Nook Simple Touch ($99 & about 8 ounces) which has a battery life of two months before recharging. It allows sideloading of your own books, has a MicroSD slot, and allows purchase of books as well as software updates using Wi-Fi. Nook Tablet & Kindle Fire have much shorter battery life but are crystal clear color screens, allow video, email, web browsing, games, weigh close to a pound, and cost $200-$249.

True, Google Play allows the Nook HD+ to partial act as an Android. I like having it become a complete Android tablet at times, hence I bought the AFN micro SDHC. It only matters if you want to go beyond what the Nook can do. I often return to the Nook after taking out the AFN micro SDHC. It works fine either way. Versatility is the name of the game.

As of now, accessing the Google Play store will allow the user to download a Kindle reading app, and thus also have those books on the Nook. Of course, this does not provide exactly the same reading experience (user interface) as reading on the Kindle itself. Additionally, for anyone who wants the Nook to behave like a standard Android tablet, there is the option of a company called AFN (Android for Nook). They provide software (downloadable or on a micro SC card that gives users a couple different options, one of which is to be able to boot into either Android or the Nook's original OS.

The space is usable for whatever you want to add: books, movies, music, etc. Unlike the iPad though, the Nook has a microSD slot, which you can pop a 32gb card in for < $20.

Yes I does,(I have an older Nook) But buy a Kindle its a much better deal and has terrific support system. Make sure you get one with a replaceable battery too! Or you are out 250 bucks in 2 years or less!

Hi I don't have a nook so I don't know but I thought I saw an answer to that . Go to questions and answers you might find what you are looking for.

Yes. I actually use the Nook app in the tablet to read my e-books (even though I don't own any B&N books), reads my EPUB books perfectly and I like its internal (i.e. not online) dictionary. I think it has the Kindle app pre-installed but I haven't used it.

Yes, I have both Nook and Kindle on board my Galaxy Tab4 and both work very well. It will do everything that a regular Nook or Kindle will do. Samsung Store has free apps for both that are designed specifically for your Galaxy Tab 4.

I was thinking the same thing. My son is five and he can navigate the Kindle Fire (and nearly anything else) with ease. The Fire is my wife's birthday gift, be she installed some kid friendly software on and he can pick out what books he wants to read and is very happy. I was looking at getting a Leapforg or a small laptop, but for the price and being a Prime member, this is a real deal. I only worry about damage and wear and tear. $200 isn't a lot (compared to a laptop), but it's still $200 dollars.

I'm still in the process of deciding and found out some helpful info. I'm planning on using our library for ebooks and our state has at least twice as many available books for the Nook compared to the Kindle. Just thought I'd mention if anyone else is in the same boat.

You might want to take a chance on the Nook with Glowlight. It's not that expensive and it's a nice little device. The light makes a tremendous difference. I know there have been some negative reviews, but I have one and love it. It's much better than the clip on lights that are sold for unlighted e-readers. I just wanted a simple e-reader as well and I got one with a light. So I'm happy. The big difference is that you will need to buy books from B and N now, not Amazon. Remember, there will always be bad reviews when someone is dissatisfied; satisfied customers don't review as frequently. The worst that can happen is that you try it for the period that B and N allows for returns and don't like it: return it. Hope you find something you like.

I don't know if the Kindle has the same connector as the Nook. I hope someone else is able to answer your question!

Hello, the nook is very easy but I do not know how it compares to a Nabi tablet.

The Coby is a true Android device that lets you get apps from the google play store, the Kindle fire is a locked down version of android that only can get apps from the Amazon site. Look for this tablet NX008HD8G from nextbook. I just purchased it at walmart for $99, best tablet ever, and so cheap you can give them as gifts.

If I get any kindle books I convert them to epub using calibre on my computer and then I load them on to my Samsung galaxy tab sch-i800 and read them with Aldiko or nook. Aldiko is nice because it lets you customize the font and print size and nook is good because it lets you enlarge pictures or maps.

I don't know if it does or not as I don't have one. But. I do know that the Nook HD devices have been difficult to pair up with BT keyboards and this one was extraordinarily easy. There's a switch to choose between IPads/Apple or Android devices and the Kindle Fire devices are Android based devices too. Look up what type of interface your device supports and compare to what the keyboard requires. The keyboard supports quite a few so you should be able to see if your Kindle is compatible or not.
