Kindle Vs Nook - Nook Advantages
Why the Nook beats the Kindle
While we spoke strongly for the Kindle in its advantages section, that's not to say there aren't a lot of points going for the Nook in the Kindle vs Nook question. In this article, we will detail all the reasons why you should consider the Nook instead. To read our final decision, check out the who wins article.
First, the ability to lend books is an intriguing option. The way this works is that you can lend an eBook to another person to read on their computer or Nook for fourteen days. This is a great way to mimic the sharing of real books. However, the Nook stumbles a bit here by limiting you to lending a book once, and also in some publishers push to disable the feature. As such, it definitely has its flaws, but it's an intriguing option that really sets the Nook apart right from the start.
Second, in a presentation victory, the Nook offers a 3.5" color touchscreen. With respect to aesthetics in the Kindle Vs Nook debate, having a richly colored screen to browse covers and navigate the system is a nice perk, though purely a visual. It really makes the books seem much more alive, and gives them some of the more personal feel that you lose with the other eReaders.
Finally, addressing many complaints of Kindle users, the Nook offers a memory expansion slot through microSD and a replaceable battery which is great for people on the go. These features both highlight the way that Barnes & Noble really took the Kindle Vs Nook debate seriously, correcting issues that are big complaints of the Kindle.
