The Nook vs Kindle battle has been raging strong for just about a year now. When the Nook was released last year, Amazon had released it's 2nd generation Kindle. Now that Amazon has released it's 3rd generation, how does the Nook vs Kindle comparison look?
5 Important Kindle 3 Changes- First let's take a look at 5 important ways the new Kindle is different from the old.
Kindle 3G
Battery Life- The battery can now last for up to 30 days with one charge. The old Kindle was around 2 weeks. Memory- Standard memory allows storage of up to 3,500 books now, vs 1,500 books of the old Kindle 2. Smaller/Lighter/Thinner- The Kindle 3 keeps the same 6" display screen and trims the fat other ways. It's 17% lighter than Kindle 2. Improved Contrast- The display screen shows darker lettering and lighter background. Faster and Quieter Page Turns- There's a 20% improvement in the speed the pages are turned. An important improvement as well is the QUIETER page turns. That has been a downfall of the Kindle 2, or more like a downfall for your spouse trying to sleep next to you reading.
3 Big Differences of the Nook- Although the following features are not the only differences between the Nook and Kindle, these are arguably the most important.
Color/Touch Screen Navigation- The Nook has a 3" color touch navigation screen to surf through your library of books with swiping a finger. The screen also converts to a touch keyboard to help with navigation. Using a web-browser in the window is in beta testing at the moment as well. Book Lending- The Nook allows lending of titles to friends and family with the Nook app, or Nook itself, for up to 2 weeks. The lender cannot use the material during that time. This is unique to the Nook as the Kindle doesn't allow this feature. In Store Reading- There's a new perk for owning the Nook and bringing it to your local Barnes and Noble Stores, namely one hour of free reading of any book available in the B&N library.
5 Big Differences of the Kindle 3- Here are some important differences of the Kindle 3 as compared to the Nook. There are more differences, hence the higher number.
Push Button Technology- The Kindle has always used simple push-button technology, and the newest version is no exception. More Memory- Although the Nook has expandable memory, the Kindle 3 comes with over double the memory capacity standard. Battery Life- The battery life of the Kindle on one charge (wireless off) is 30 days. The Nook's (wireless off) is 10 days. International Wireless Capability- The Kindle works wirelessly at 3G speed in over 100 countries at the moment. The Nook works within the continental US. Lower Price- Both the Wi Fi only and Wi Fi + 3G are less than the respective models of the Nook.
There is a brief, but thorough, comparison of the Nook Vs Kindle 3.
