To be honest, I think that the article is horribly written.

1. It's comparing two unlike products. Sure, the nook color can be used to read books, just like the Kindle, but so can a computer! The author should be comparing the Nook Simple to the Kindle. IMO, the two devices have their separate uses.

2. It has incorrect information; it is possible to lend out Kindle books.

3. Important advantages and disadvantages are left out. To name a few, library book lending (Kindle support is announced, but not yet available) and browser (LCD screen has a much better experience). You could say that browser is included in "games and other features" but that's really downsizing it. The Kindle also has games and other features.

If you're looking for more criticism, let me know. It sounds as though he/she took the 'features' page of both the Nook Color and the Kindle, and just jammed them together, hoping to make a worthy article.
