Nook Color and Kindle Fire both feature simple design with a good holdability factor. They look pretty much the same, but Nook has its unique loop at the bottom-right corner. On the other hand, Kindle is a little bit smaller (7.5 x 4.7 x 0.45 inches compared to Nook's 8.1 x 5 x 0.5 inches) and lighter (14.6 vs. 5.8 ounces).

Kindle Vs Nook - Who's the champion???

It's now another new year, and the Kindle vs Nook is fiercer than ever. Amazon released it's 3rd generation Kindle late last year and Barnes and Noble is fighting back with updated versions of the Nook. Which ebook reader is winning the fight?

Kindle Comes on Strong With...

When Amazon released the Kindle 3 in autumn of 2009, the sales floodgates were opened for the device. Many people found the new improvements irresistible and went ahead and bought it.

Why? What were the compelling changes?

1) Memory capacity of the Kindle 3 was improved to 3,500 books.

2) Size and design of the reader was slimmed down. The Nook was smaller before, now the Kindle 3 is smaller than the Nook.

3) Pricing Drop- Both the Kindle and Nook dropped their prices dramatically and now offer the WiFi only and WiFi +3G models. The Kindle, however, is slightly cheaper than the Nook.

4) Sharing of Book Titles- The newest recent development in the Kindle corner is the ability to share books with other Kindle users, or those with the Kindle app. Previously, the Nook was the only device to allow this feature.

5) Battery Life Extension- Now the Kindle boasts a battery life of 30 days with the wireless off. Despite improvements in software, the Nook is only getting 10 days with wireless off on one charge.

6) International Usage- Only the Kindle allows for use on 3G wireless networks in over 100 countries.

Nook Fights Back With...

1) Nook allows for the use of the ePub file. So what? Many public libraries are beginning to use Adobe DRM, a digital content management software that allows members of said library to check out ebooks online. These can be downloaded from the library's website and read for a set number of days. The Kindle still doesn't allow use of the ePub file.

2) Color- This is an obvious difference between the two devices, and still one of the biggest reasons people will choose the Nook over the Kindle. The color navigation touch screen is an irresistible feature for many.

3) Expandable Memory- For those digital content junkies, the expandable memory on the Nook is a desirable feature.

Kindle Vs Nook- Which Is The Better Value?

It is immediately apparent when comparing the Kindle and Nook that the Kindle offers more robust standard features. The Nook becomes a good value when you look at the ePub compatibility feature.

Best Wireless Reading Device - Kindle 2

Large Selection: Over 350,000 books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs available

Low Book Prices: New York Times Best Sellers and New Releases $9.99, unless marked otherwise

Kindle Electronic Book Reader exists to prove to the world that there is an even better way of reading books these days. Amazon has amazingly manufactured this kind of device to offer everyone with an absolutely unique reading experience. Back in the old days, fervent readers read through the thick paper-made books. But nowadays, all those printed books and other reading resources are incorporated into one user-friendly device called the eBook reader.

·         Get social, surf the web, play games, even listen to music

·         Over 2 million titles at your fingertips

·         Kids' books come alive

·         Magazines & newspapers in rich color

·         Stunning 7-inch color touchscreen

There are many reasons why the Barnes & Noble NOOK Color is becoming increasingly popular these days. If you're looking for an ereader, and trying to figure out which one to get, you may be thinking about the difference between the Kindle and the NOOK Color.

Read in color! To tell you the truth, it's hard to compare the two because they have very different features from each other. They are both digital e-readers, but still quite different in lots of ways. For one, the Kindle is in black and white, while the NOOK Color is a color ereader.

The Barnes & Noble Nook (styled "nook" or "NOOK") is a brand of electronic-book reader developed by American book retailer Barnes & Noble, based on the Android platform. The original device was announced in the United States in October 2009, and was released the next month. The original Nook includes both Wi-Fi and AT&T 3G wireless connectivity, a six-inch E Ink display, and a separate, smaller color touchscreen that serves as the primary input device. A Wi-Fi-only model of the original design was released in June 2010. The original line of Nooks was followed in November 2010 by a color LCD device called the Nook Color and in June 2011 by a second-generation E Ink device marketed as the Nook Simple Touch. On December 1, 2011 Barnes & Noble stated that the NOOK business is valued at $220 million.
