Kindle Fire or Nook Color?

Hi Hello Sunshine, both Nook Color and Nook Tablet (that is Nook Color 2) are tablets that have laminated reduced glare color screen (not on Kindle Fire), full-featured web browser, Wi-Fi built-in, access to thousands of apps (including Angry Birds, Netflix, Hulu, etc.) Nook Color is one year old and has less RAM and slower CPU. Nook Tablet has double the RAM of both Nook Color and Kindle Fire, faster CPU, and double the space for photos/movies/apps/ebooks. Both Nooks have microSD slot and physical volume controls on the side (neither of those is on Kindle) and Nook Tablet also has built-in microphone that can be used for Skype calls.

Known issues with Kindle Fire are that it runs hot to touch, video playback is jerky, touch screen is not responsive and it takes 2-3 touches to register, power button placement is very poor and is prone to accidental power off, all the hype of Silk browser is not true where the browsing is actually slower than on other Android tablets, Wi-Fi connection gives a lot of trouble to users on it, etc.

Also, when Fire is activated it allows for 1-Click shopping through the account connected to the device, and such behavior cannot be turned off. Additionally the device asks for no confirmation password before validating the purchase, which means that if anyone gets hold of the device, he can purchase things at will. It is confirmed that Prime movies can't be downloaded, only streamed, making them impossible to watch without Wi-Fi on Kindle Fire. Also, on Fire when the Silk internet browser is pointed at the Android market, it reverts to the Amazon market with much more limited content. Amazon's own web site has hundreds of reviews (close to 1800 already) of Kindle Fire's new owners that gave it 1 or 2 star reviews because of choppy/laggy experience they got from this underpowered device.

Nook Tablet is much better without a doubt, it's a class above Kindle Fire. All pro reviewers on the web clearly voiced that Nook Tablet is a much better device with superior performance compared to Kindle Fire. It's got Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life (30% better than Fire), the best non-glare laminated screen (not lamination on Fire), double the RAM and space for apps/photos/movies than on Fire, microSD slot and a microphone for Skype (not on Fire), physical volume controls on the side (not on Fire), very smooth video playback with excellent screen, and very fast apps load (unlike on Fire).

One pro review to consider:

ENGADGET

Both devices rock 1GHz dual-core processors, but the Nook has an edge here, with its 1GB of RAM to the Fire's 512MB -- and certainly the difference is noticeable, even when booting up something as simple as a game like Angry Birds. Things are even more pronounced during video playback. We took Shutter Island for a spin via Netflix streaming on both devices, and it was really like night and day. Motion is far less choppy on the Barnes & Noble device. The HD playback on the Nook also picked up subtle imagery like patterns on ties, which were largely lost on the Fire

Kindle Fire.

Kindle fire because it is cheaper and does virtually the same thing as a nook. Barnes and noble doesn't compete with amazon as far as book and merchandise deals are concerned
