  • Nook vs. Kindle
Technology Articles > Gadgets > eReaders > Nook vs. Kindle

It seems like everyone is talking or using eReaders these days because they are simple to use, hold thousands of books at a time and are an asset for any book owner.
В 
The two biggest names in the world who manufacture eReaders are Kindle and Nook. We’ve all seen the commercials for each eReader but few people actually talk about what are good and bad about either of these eReaders until now.
В 
Price
В 
The Amazon Kindle has three models to choose from with prices ranging from $114.00 to $379.00 and the Nook has two generations to choose from which cost around $150.00 each. Barnes & Noble also has a color eBook/Tablet which sells for around $300.00.
В 
The price that you pay for either the Kindle or Nook depends on if you want your wireless eReader to have the ability to access wireless networks anywhere plus store more books and have access to newer titles before anyone else.
В 
Screen
В 
This biggest question to ask yourself when buying an eReader is how big a screen do you want to have? Kindle offers a basic six inch screen size for their base models and a 9.7 inch screen size for their DX which Nook only offers a six inch screen size for both generations of the Nook.
В 
Both the Kindle and Nook are easy to read inside and outside thanks to their e-ink screens which eliminate the problem with glare that can come when you take a device outside.
В 
User Friendliness
В 
Both the Nook and Kindle are super easy to use and feature minimal buttons which make them easy for a book lover from any generation to enjoy their favorite books without having to read a complicated users guide just to figure out how they work.
В 
The great thing about either eReader is that they are both easy to slip into a pocket or bag and take with you wherever you go.
В 
Each eReader offers a battery life of up to one month which means that you only have to charge it once and can go anywhere with wondering if it will die on you like your laptop or other wireless devices do.
В 
Cool Features
В 
With the Amazon Kindle you can connect to Amazon and download new books anytime you can access a wireless hotspot but with their Kindle 3G you have the ability to download books anytime you want on the Global 3G Network. В 
В 
The Barnes & Noble Nook also offers WiFi access which means you can download books anywhere you can catch a WiFi signal or for free in Barnes & Noble stores around the world, they also have a model that will enable you to access 3G networks through AT&T.
В 
Storage
В 
Both the Kindle and Nook have the capacity to store thousands of books at one time and they offer their users the ability to download many free books from their online libraries plus lots of great best sellers for as little as $0.99 per book.
В 
Kindle and Nook also offer apps that enable you to read your books on any device or computer plus integration to share your favorite books or passages with friends and family members on Facebook or Twitter.
