Post Compare the quality of Nook Simple Touch with Nook HD
Hello.
I bought a Nook Simple Touch and it is Awesome. Its same as Paper but how about Nook HD? Can it have same quality?

Thank you.

The Nook HD is a hobbled Android tablet with a 7" LCD screen. It's really not the same thing.

The difference between the two is:

E-Ink v LCD - it is easier to read a book using an E-Ink screen
Simple Device v Tablet Device - you can't access email or the web on your Nook ST

OK but how about Eyes? Nook Simple touch like paper and can't destroy Eyes but how about HD Version?

It's totally an individual experience/issue. I generally read on an eInk screen, but can read just fine on a decent tablet (especially if the brightness isn't cranked up) for hours too. Others have big problems reading on an LCD screen, while there have been a few posters who have had problems reading on eInk.

As far as LCD screens go the one on the Nook HD is quite good.

As has been posted before, the Nook HD has an LCD screen--same technology as in most computer screens. Do you feel eyestrain when using your computer for long periods of time?
As AnemicOak posted--it's an individual experience. Some people can't read from LCDs for extended period of time without feeling eye fatigue and others it doesn't bother at all.

Personally, I much prefer reading novels on an e-ink screen--but do use my iPad (which has an LCD screen) for reading magazines, etc on.
