should i buy an android tablet or an ereader?

Hi, Varun, e-Ink ereaders are great for reading as text on them appears very similar to a physical book and their batery lasts over a month on one charge - however they do not support apps/movies and have no color. Tablet-like devices have LCD screen thus they're not optimal for reading and their battery only lasts several hours while they do support pps/movies and have color.

The best e-Ink eReader on the market now is Nook Simpletouch from Barnes & Noble and it's price has just been lowered to $99 without ads (Kindle Touch without ads costs $139 and has worse battery life, worse page turning speed, and much worse flashing on page turn). Also, you might want to also take a look at just released next generation Nook Tablet from Barnes & Noble, here's a quick side-by-side of the new device with Nook Color and Kindle Fire:

1. Nook Tablet has a dual-core processor vs. single core of Nook Color

2. Nook Tablet has 1.0 GB of RAM (memory) vs. 512 MB of both Nook Color and Kindle Fire

3. Nook Tablet has 16 GB of capacity to store content vs. 8 GB capacity of both Nook Color and Kindle Fire

4. Nook Tablet's battery is rated for 11.5 hours of reading and 9 hours of video playback on one charge vs. 8 hours or reading and 7.5 hours of video of Kindle Fire and Nook Color

5. Nook Tablet has microSD card slot to expand the capacity by another 32 GB for videos/photos/ebooks vs. no expandable slot of Kindle Fire

6. Nook Tablet has the world's most advanced fully non-glare laminated HD screen with the best viewing angles on the market vs. no anti-glare coating of Kindle Fire

7. Nook Tablet comes loaded with optimized Netflix, Hulu Plus for streaming of millions of movies and shows vs. none of those available on Kindle Fire

8. Nook Tablet has a built-in microphone thus it can be used with Skype for voice conferencing and for dictations with speech recognition software vs. no mic on Kindle Fire or Nook Color.

9. Nook Tablet weights only 14.1 oz vs. 14.6 oz of Kindle Fire and 15.8 oz of Nook Color.

Also it's worth mentioning that if you walk in with any Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you’re allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi where Nook eBook store has over 2 million of paid books and about the same number of free public domain books. Nook already has Cloud as your ebooks are stored in your online library as well as downloaded to your device. For streaming movies and shows, it has Netflix and Hulu's Clouds with much better content that Amazon could ever hope to offer.

Buy an E Ink ereader if you want the best long-run reading experience. Reading from an E Ink display is as nice as reading from a physical book. Reading from a table or LCD ereader is as good as reading from a computer monitor (fair). Note, however, that E Ink ereaders are lousy for browsing the web, are poor at running apps, and cannot play movies.

Buy a tablet or LCD ereader if you mostly consume (and rarely create) content, and if you value the carrying and holding convenience of the tablet form over a laptop. Tablets are very convenient for browsing the web given their size, shape, and touchscreens. Tablets are also much better for browsing the web than E Ink ereaders given their faster, color LCD displays.

i guess cheaper and less power usage, but the android tablet would probably would vast more things, unless you just want something for digital readin then go with ereader
