Kindle or Nook?

Haha.

I can't even believe I'm thinking about this now. I need. An E-book Reader. Not Want. Need.

It's because I'm doing some major book reviews and the best way to get books is by reading the e-books. The paperbacks can wait for the personal collection.

I know I will also enjoy an e-book reader. I've been thinking. Which one?

Amazon's Kindle?

Or Barnes and Noble's Nook?


I have no problems whether or not it's colored. I just need to read.

Let's do a tabular comparison, shall we?

                                                             Kindle Touch                             Nook Simple Touch

Price                                                           $ 99                                                  $99
Color                                                          No                                                    No
Display                                                        6 inches                                             6 inches

Supported File Types                                   -----                                                   ePub, PDF
Free Books                                                (Through Special Offer)               (Through Nook Gift Cards)

This is just an overview comparison, I'm still thinking. You will find out though which one I will be asking for when one of my aunts arrive. Close competition right? 

Reminder: Features are taken from these sites- Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I am not being paid to compare the two e-book readers. Though I won't mind if someone would want to donate either one to a poor bookworm like me. Yikes!

    Get the kindle na. Same price point naman but kindle allows you to store more books and that's what you need! :P It's super easy naman these days to convert pdf epub to mobi so no problem for you :P
