Nook
A close competitor of Sony Reader and Kindle is Nook, which is the flagship product of Barnes and Noble in the ebook reader market. Unarguably, one of the top rated ebook readers in the market today, Nook has been launched in two versions, which include a model with only wifi connectivity (priced at $149) and a 3G+Wifi version which costs $199. The Kindle vs Nook war has been raging for quite some time now with both parties slashing prices to gain the edge.
Similarities:
Amazon Kindle 2 and Barnes and Noble Nook both use the same e-ink technology for their screen display. The electronic ink screen displays the words just like a real book. Both gadgets boast their wireless capabilities that we can use to download books, magazines or any other entertaining applications with the help of free wifi. Both kindle and nook have base memory of 2 GB, which is good for about 1,500 books.
Differences:
Although both have 2G base memory, but Nook allows for extra space to be added increasing the titles to upwards of 17,500 while kindle doesn't.
The Kindle boasts a slightly lighter device, text-to-speech technology, and a web browsing capability, whereas the Nook doesn't.
The Kindle 2 boasts the ability to download books and full usage in over 100 countries, whereas the Nook is only fully functional in the US. Of course the Nook device will work in the sense you can still read books out of the country, but you cannot add more books or publications. This is obviously a very important point for international customers to take into account.
The new Amazon Kindle seems to be the next big thing in eBook readers. It's smaller, lighter, faster and basically more user-friendly than most eReaders out there. Amazon is showing that they are not giving up on the eBook reader market and are coming on strong with this great new exciting device. It had been up for pre-order for the last few weeks and now it's already sold out.
