A quick comparison:
Nook Simple Touch
-6 in screen
-support epub
-no ads anywhere
-Expandable microSD up to 32 GB
-can be rooted to run simple Android apps, including PDF-specific apps like Repligo, etc. video here
vs.
Kindle Touch
-6 in screen
-supports only mobi
-a few non-intrusive ads
-only 3 GB storage
The only things I see the Kindle Touch having over the Nook Touch are:
-partnership with Overdrive to download books from public libraries, but that's extremely limited since publishers set the limit
-Send to Kindle support using Wifi email or Instapaper, which AFAIK Nook doesn't have
-an audio jack (but how much music can you fit on 4 GB anyways).
So are there any other features of the Kindle that make it a potentially better purchase? Thanks. |
Kindle Library books have no restrictions. They are the same limits that the epub or PDF has. I don't know what you mean by publisher has set limits?
It all depends on what you want out of a reader. Where you buy your books and your reading habits.
To me the Ads are worth it. I don't think of them as Ads. I think of them as coupons and offers I can use. If you shop at Amazon alot it's well worth it!
I can say Kindle support is top notch.
You can't get better service. B&N is hit and miss I am told.
