Kindle Fire Vs Nook Tablet

Where to by kindle. The Kindle Fire has caused quite a stir in the tablet market because it looks like there is finally a decent tablet from a major brand that is actually affordable. The price point of $199 makes it far more attractive than the alternatives like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Motorola Xoom and of course the iPad which are all priced at the $500 mark.

However, given the type of device that the Kindle Fire is, it would be unfair to compare it with these more costly tablets because the Kindle Fire isn't trying to be an iPad killer or any other Android killer, but what it is, is a killer media consumption device. Amazon is consolidating their business as an online store to buy anything to an online store where you can consume any type of digital media. They started out with the original Kindle which was a natural progression for them as they allowed people to consume books on demand and now with the Kindle Fire it opens up new possibilities to consume any type of digital media.

Price of ipad. Both tablets come with the same Texas Instruments dual core processor clocked at 1 GHz, it could have been clocked faster but we think that would have reduced the battery life too much. They both have similar 7 inch screens which have 1024x600 resolutions with 169 pixels per inch. This small form factor makes them easier to hold for longer durations than a larger tablet like the iPad or Galaxy Tab and makes them more suitable for lounging around watching a movie.

The Kindle Fire as a media consumption device is where this tablet really comes in to its own because you can instantly access over 18 million movies, TV shows, apps, games, songs, books, newspapers, audio books, magazines and docs from the Kindle Store. The content is available on demand and streams automatically via your wifi connection and with Amazon Instant Video you get access to over 100,000 movies and TV shows to download and watch whenever you want. This means that from just $0.99 per movie you can download it and watch it for 30 days and if you need to catch up on last night's TV show it's just $1.99 to watch it immediately.

Where to buy a nook. In terms of resolution though the Kindle Fire slightly edges it over the iPad because it uses a 1024x600 resolution with 169 pixels per inch compared to the 1024x768 resolution and 132 pixels per inch used by the iPad. The greater density of pixels means that even on the smaller screen size images and movies remain sharp and text is easily readable.

Music on the Fire Kindle is handled very well, you have the option to upload your own DRM-free music collection to your Amazon Cloud and then access it through the tablet from anywhere with a wifi connection. However you might struggle to transfer any music bought from iTunes because almost all of the files contain DRM which restrict its use. This is one major advantage Amazon MP3 has over iTunes and should be a big enough reason for many people to make the switch from Apple to Amazon: Amazon doesn't use DRM in most of the music you buy from them.

Amazon have been touting their new Silk browser as a revolution for tablet based Internet browsing because it leverages Amazon's Cloud services to optimize, serve up and present the web pages quicker than ever before. Some critics have been sceptical of this claim but judging by user experiences posted in reviews and in forums, most have been very happy with the speed boost that Silk provides.

Many different tech blogs have done tear downs of both devices and one thing that is apparent is that while Amazon have barely touched the default designs and circuitry, the Nook Tablet has done some extensive under the hood modifications, possibly to squeeze as much power out of the hardware as possible. This probably explains why B&N claim the Nook Tablet has a battery life of over 11 hours compared to Kindle Fire's 8 hours.

So far you might be thinking that the Nook Tablet is beating the Kindle Fire hands down and in terms of hardware you are right, but you are paying the extra $50 for that! But the real trump card for the Kindle Fire is the access to Amazon's vast media library and cloud storage.

Many iPad owners have noted that after some time of holding the iPad to watch a movie it becomes uncomfortable to hold but the Kindle is smaller and lighter and far easier to hold for long durations.
