Two EReader Tablet Hybrids Compared - Nook Color And Kindle Fire
Nook Color from Barnes and Noble has been one of the most original and reasonable devices for electronic reading as well as performing other multimedia tasks till now. However , this autumn Amazon introduced their Kindle Fire and the sector of budget Android eReader and pad crossovers has become much more engaging. Now it's 2 full-colored touchscreen devices that cross the divide separating eReader and tablet. In this article I am going to try to compare these 2 rivals.
Design
Nook Color and Kindle Fire both feature easy design with a good holdability factor. They look just about the same, but Nook has its unique loop at the bottom-right corner. On the other hand, Kindle is a touch smaller (7.5 x 4.7 x 0.45 inches compared with Nook's 8.1 x 5 x 0.5 inches) and lighter (14.6 vs. 5.8 ounces).
View Screen
Both gadgets can boast of excellent quality 7-inch LCD touch-screens with the resolution of 1024x600 at 169 dpi and 16 million colours. They both look great in either portrait or landscape orientation
Power
Even though the CPU isn't such an important factor for tablet PCs and e-readers, but the Kindle features a newer dual-core processor which is likely to perform faster than that of Nook. When reading or listening to mp3s you will likely not notice any huge difference.
Operating System
Kindle Fire and Nook Color run Android but have their own exclusive versions of software and user interface. It helps to make it easier for average non-techie users to use these devices. Nevertheless advanced users might wish to root them in order to turn them in a full Android tablet and sideload applications rather than buying them. In this respect Nook seems to be a winner as it features a microSD slot with which you can run the hack and remove it to come back to the first configuration.
eReader
Both devices are excellent for reading in full color nearly under any conditions: in the sunlight and in total darkness. The screen adjusts its brightness accordingly to make the method the best. Fire and Colour support popular text/ebook formats and with their 8GB of built in memory can store hundreds of ebooks and text files.
Multimedia
It's correct to say that Kindle is more of a multi-media tablet than Nook, as it supports more video and sound formats. Apart from Kindle books (including audio reinforced), this device can play music from the Cloud Drive as well as On-demand video. It's also feasible to stream video rentals or free offerings which are available for Amazon Prime members.
Final Word
The primary features of the 2 devices are almost the same: 7-inch touchscreens, customised Android OS, 8GB of memory, similar size and weight, similar battery lifespan (about 8 hours), same connectivity (Wi-Fi), same price (Fire is slightly less expensive). Nevertheless Nook Color features more original design and due to microSD slot it is more expandable/rootable.
