Before I begin the Kindle Nook comparison I would like to start off by saying that both e-readers are a great product and you probably won't go wrong with either. At the end of the day it's probably going to be a personal preference of how it looks and how it feels. I mean you can look at the dry specs to try and get an idea of what each e-reader is about. But I strongly recommend holding one in your hands before making a final decision. A few more important factors to consider are: what you read, where you read and how much of it do you read.
I'll start off with Barns and Noble's Nook (pronounced like "book" but with an "n").
BARNES AND NOBLE
Advantages:
Color screen Allow sharing with friends downloaded books Free book browsing when in a Barnes and Nobel store Good contrast making an easy and smooth read More titles to choose from (including free ones), Slot for memory expansion.
Disadvantages:
Slower processing (e.g. opening a book, turning a page, bootup etc.) Menus are not so user friendly Hard to navigate around.
And now for Amazon's Kindle.
Advantages:
Built in browser and free Internet in the US Access e-books when abroad (with a fee) User friendly interface Fast processing Lighter than the Nook Longer battery life (14 days vs. only 10 days on the nook).
Disadvantages:
Only half the number of titles than the Nook Contrast not as good No slot to expand memory Battery cannot be changed.
