Kindle On Nook Color Root
2 EReader Tablet Composites Compared – Nook Color And Kindle Fire
Nook Color from Barnes and Noble has been one of the most original and affordable devices for electronic reading as well as performing other multi-media jobs until now. Nonetheless this fall Amazon introduced their Kindle Fire and the arena of budget Android eReader and tablet composites has become much more interesting. Now it’s two full-colored touchscreen devices that span the divide between eReader and tablet. In this article I will try to compare these 2 rivals.
Layout
Nook Colour and Kindle Fire both feature easy design with a good holdability factor. They look just about the same, but Nook has its original loop at the bottom-right corner. On the other hand, Kindle is a tiny bit smaller (7.5 x 4.7 x 0.45 inches compared with Nook’s 8.1 x 5 x 0.5 inches) and lighter (14.6 versus. 5.8 oz).
Screen
Both gadgets can boast of high quality 7-inch LCD touchscreens with the resolution of 1024×600 at 169 dpi and 16 million colours. Both look great in either portrait or landscape alignment
Speed
Even though the CPU isn't such an important element for tablet PCs and e-readers, still the Kindle features a more modern dual-core processor which is likely to perform faster than that of Nook. When reading or listening to mp3s you may doubtless not notice any difference.
Operating System
Kindle Fire and Nook Color run Android but have their own exclusive versions of software and control panel. It makes it easier for average non-techie users to use these devices. Nevertheless advanced users might need to root them so as to turn them in a full Android tablet and sideload applications rather than purchasing them. In this respect Nook seems to be a winner as it has a microSD slot with which you can run the hack and remove it to come back to the original configuration.
PDF
Both devices are superb for reading in full color just about under any conditions: in the daylight and in total darkness. The screen adjusts its brightness accordingly to make the process the best. Fire and Color support popular text/PDF formats and with their 8GB of internal memory can store hundreds if not thousands of ebooks and text files.
Multi-media
It’s fair to say that Kindle is more of a multi-media tablet than Nook, as it supports more video and audio formats. Aside from Kindle books (including audio enhanced), this device can play music from the Cloud Drive as well as On demand Video. It is also possible to stream video rentals or free offerings which are available for Amazon Prime members.
Summing it up
The main features of the two devices are just about the same: 7-inch touchscreens, customized Android OS, 8GB of built-in memory, similar weight and size, similar battery life-span (about 8 hours), same connectivity (Wi-Fi), same price (Fire is barely less expensive). However , Nook Color features more unique design and due to microSD slot it is a lot more expandable/rootable.
