How can I choose the right device from Nook Color and Kindle Fire. As I know kindle fire is now very popolar. If you want to buy, which one is better?

There is no gift more prominent this holiday season than an e-reader, and with prices down this year, the time is right to buy. Before selecting a Tablet PC you need to ask yourself a question "For what purpose you will be using the Tablet"

There has been a great fight between Kindle Fire Vs Nook Color since the launch of the tablet Kindle Fire as both contains near about same features. Before the launch of Kindle Fire, the price which you need to pay for the Nook was $249. However, after the launch of Kindle Fire on 15th Nov 2011 at a price point of $199, the price of Nook Color has to be dropped down to approximately the same price as set for Kindle Fire. Now let us see the major reasons behind the decrease in the price of Nook Color after experiencing both the gadgets Kindle Fire and Nook Color.

Design:

Both the Kindle Fire and Nook Color have 7-inch displays (1024 x 600 resolution) and thus are about the same size. However, at 7.5 x 4.7 x 0.45 inches, the Kindle Fire is a bit smaller than the Nook Color, which measures 8.1 x 5.0 x 0.48 inches. It’s also lighter: 14.6 vs. 15.6 ounces.

The Nook Color has more visual flair and a more comfortable holdability factor. The Kindle is very plain-looking by comparison. However, it’s made to work comfortably in either portrait or landscape orientation where the Nook Color works best for a comfort standpoint in portrait.



Power / Speed:

Since the Kindle Fire’s CPU is newer and 1GHz dual-core processor instead of single, it’s likely more powerful and will offer better performance. The Nook Color’s CPU is 800MHz single-core processor. They have the same 512 RAM.

Storage Capacity:

We can use a micro SD card in Nook Color. This will create a large space for us to download pictures, documents, and music in the gadget. However, the space will be of 32 GB which can get occupied after a limited storage.

Kindle Fire provides 8 GB internal memory and it can be again extended to unlimited storage capacity because of Amazon’s cloud technology. The storage capability of the Kindle becomes stretchable due to this new technology of Amazon. Hence in terms of storage capacity also the Kindle is better than the Nook.

Browsing the Internet:

Due to Amazon cloud, Kindle Fire gets additional strength, huge space and speed while uploading any  website and hence over taking the Nook in terms of website uploading and browsing the internet. This makes Kindle Fire better than the Nook in terms of web browsing.

Movies and Videos:

Kindle Fire also offers you a large collection of movies and videos with the help of Amazon cloud and the vast library of videos and movies. The best part of it is you can not only watch these videos and movies but can also save them in your Kindle Fire.

Nook Color does not facilitate you with the feature of storing videos and movies in it. So, the Kindle surpasses the Nook in terms of storing videos and movies.

Apps:

Barnes & Noble’s store is specifically for the Nook Color and features a few hundred apps that fit into this device’s theme of a “Reader’s tablet.” There are a few games and productivity apps, but the main focus is on book or reading-related apps.

The Kindle Fire again moves beyond the reading focus of the Nook Color in this department. Though it doesn’t have access to apps from any Android app store or market like a normal tablet, you’re more likely to find your favorite app here than on the Nook thanks to the larger selection.

Price:

Today, the Nook Color costs $249 and the Kindle Fire costs $199. Barnes & Noble may bring down the price of the Nook in response to Amazon’s offering, but until they do the Kindle looks like a better deal.

Conclusion:

From the specs, features, and the limited demos the press saw yesterday, the Kindle Fire has an edge on the Nook Color. It’s certainly one of the most exciting devices in the low-cost tablet space today, and it is a good idea to play video on Kindle Fire, however, Kindle Fire mainly supports MP4 video format, firstly, you mush ensure the video you want to play is in MP4 video format, if not, you must convert video to Kindle Fire MP4 video format without quality loss in the help of Kindle Fire converter or Kindle Fire video Converter.
