There are a number of e-readers available on the market, but it seems like Kindle and Nook are two of the biggest e-book readers. However, how to know which one is better and which one is for you? Before making such a huge decision, there are a number of aspects which should be considered and assessed. Some of the features which need to be assessed include cost and charging life.
Kindle is produced by Amazon, while Barnes and Noble make the Nook. Both of these are great products and deciding which one of them to get is an arduous task. You should first decide what are you going to use it for as it doesn’t have to only be used for reading books, but for streaming, games, music, and movies. So, let’s take a close look at the differences between Kindle and Nook and compare the two e-readers.
Kindle Fire vs Nook Tablet: Difference and Comparison
Performance
When it comes to performance, Kindle Fire seems to be a bit more powerful due to the dual-core TI OMAP 4 processor. On the other hand, the Nook Tablet is powered by an 800 MHz single core processor. Even though there isn’t a significant difference in performance, the Kindle Fire performs slightly better, especially when reading a book or downloading a video while listening to music.
Battery Life
This is an important aspect which should always be taken into consideration as, without it, this gadget is useless. For example, reading a book means that the battery will last longer, but if you are streaming movies, it will last quite shorter. The Kindle Fire features a battery life of up to 8 hours with wireless disabled. It will take you only 4 hours for a full charge. Likewise, the battery of the Nook Tablet can last up to 8 hours with wireless disabled and can be charged in 3 hours. This means that the Nook Tablet has a sight advantage over Kindle Fire. However, the Kindle Touch or the Kindle Keyboard models can stay charged for up to two months. This means that the Nook Tablet has a sight advantage over Kindle Fire.

Connectivity

Storage Space

Weight
