Would you please compare nook to kindle fire?

They both have good price points, decent interaction and speed, but both lack SD Card Slots and try to lock the system down to keep people on their respective vendor's content. Both are built on Android, but it is quite buried and not readily accessible. You would need to probably void the warranty to get to the base Android system. Here is a good side by side I found compare: http://www.gizmag.com/kindle-fire-hd-vs-nook-hd/24959/ If you already purchase music, books, movies, etc from one or the other, then I would go with that one. But if you want more freedom and long term customization, go with something that is base Android like the Lenovo S2110 or Asus Transformer Prime. Or if your on a budget, checkout the Nexus 7/10 or the Galaxy 7" If you want to get to know them in person, run down to BestBuy, Staples, Wal-mart or any store with electronics and they should have a display with each of the devices where you can get to know them.

No, the Nook only supports EPUB and PDF files. Kindle books are made for Kindle, which I believe has its own unique file format created by Amazon. The Kindle also supports PDFs, though.

Yes, to the IPod. Compatibility wise, they seem to have a bias towards Apple product. In regards to the Nook, it is limited in its compatibility.

Dear Michelle,I think that in overall, Kindle provides better services in Europe (3G, buying online etc). Although the Nook has also these features, you are not allowed to use the online shopping services if you are not a US residence. Unfortunatelly Amazon's store does not have books in my mother language (Catalan), so I'm "forced" to purchase the best e-reader using ePub format. Of course, when I got my Nook I'll give you some feedback. Nice to discuss with you.Xavi

I don't know, because I don't have a Nook. I know that it is made for Apple devices because of buttons it has specifically for Apple functionality.

Yes I does,(I have an older Nook) But buy a Kindle its a much better deal and has terrific support system. Make sure you get one with a replaceable battery too! Or you are out 250 bucks in 2 years or less!

I use Aldiko to download and read my library books. I think it is a better reader than the Nook or Kindle readers. You don't really need Overdrive.

Sure if you can get it to load. THis thing was SO SLOW and grainy. I ended up buying my son a nook tablet for $80 on craigslist and it works like my google nexus. I wouldnt waste your money here!

As of now, accessing the Google Play store will allow the user to download a Kindle reading app, and thus also have those books on the Nook. Of course, this does not provide exactly the same reading experience (user interface) as reading on the Kindle itself. Additionally, for anyone who wants the Nook to behave like a standard Android tablet, there is the option of a company called AFN (Android for Nook). They provide software (downloadable or on a micro SC card that gives users a couple different options, one of which is to be able to boot into either Android or the Nook's original OS.

I don't know if the Kindle has the same connector as the Nook. I hope someone else is able to answer your question!

By the way, my brother received a Kindle fire for Christmas and it's decent but i found the browser to be a bit slow, and some of the e books i downloaded weren't working once the wifi connection was turned off. I looked in my schools bookstore and only a few of the books i needed for class were available digitally so I won't be needing a tablet soon but when i do buy one I think I'm going with the Nook.

No, the nook had a seperate charger that isn't even remotely like a smartphone charger. Kindles use smartphone chargers ,nooks are a little different.

I have a Nook and it works great. I would guess it works with the Fire, as microphone plug-ins are fairly standard.
