I purchased the nook hd, Is it any different from the nook color? And which is better?

Nook HD is definitely better than the nook color, the processing speed and download speeds are more responsive and images of course are better due to the nature of a HD screen. If you want to upgrade there's always the nook HD+ which i fond is far better and it has SD memory slots for additional storage capacity.

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

Yes. I actually use the Nook app in the tablet to read my e-books (even though I don't own any B&N; books), reads my EPUB books perfectly and I like its internal (i.e. not online) dictionary. I think it has the Kindle app pre-installed but I haven't used it.

No. Color tablet only. And, you must buy a card that matches your Nook....by model and memory size.

Mostly no. For bright light you want a dedicated ereader with an "e-ink" display. The Nook HD+ has a wonderful display. but like all color tablets it's difficult to read in direct sunlight. Most people are fine in the shade.

A major advantage of the Nook Glowlight is the ability to read outside both in both direct or indirect sunlight without the screen "fading" or screen glare as well as being able to read anywhere indoors or at night with the Glowlight function. The battery life of the Glowlight is significantly longer and the device is much lighter and easier to hold and carry especially while traveling. There is the disadvantage though of books only being available in black and while, which could be an issue for books for children or books with photos or pictures in them. The Main advantage of the Nook Color is the color feature, especially for magazines, etc. and the text is a bit crisper and the lighting better. It also has a night time setting (dark screen/white lettering) for reading at night which doesn't light up a room as much for the benefit of other occupants. Being a tablet gives internet capability, but this does mean a shorter battery life. It is also difficult, if not impossible to read it outdoors. Both products are excellent. Since I have an iPad and can access my Nook library in color, I have opted for the Glowlight so I can read outdoors on my patio. Best of both worlds.

Yes. And the apps you bought for your phone can be added to your Nook HD +. I love mine.

No. Shell out more money and buy the Nook cover from BN. stronger and lasts.

No. The nook operating system is different. Google N2A and go to there web site. They have FAQ and forum help to answer questions better.

As far as I know, the HD version of the Nook is a newer (not necessarily the latest version) of the nook. It has complete wifi access to various apps and the web and the internet. I think technically it is considered a tablet (as the name indicates) and not just an ereader.

I would still buy the Nook HD+, the screen is better, the operating system isn't as locked down (IE I can install regular android on it and use it as a normal tablet, it had a microsd slot and even the native ebook software is superior. I use mine with the free Calibre on the computer (which can convert any ebook file to any other ebook file and am able to read books from anywhere. If you aren't just using it as an ebook and are unwilling to learn to put a normal operating system on it I would probably look at another tablet as an option. I will say this has far better specs ( screen /processor/memory) at a lower price than any almost comparable tablets!

Thank you Alan. I will have to try that out. I ended up getting a Nook from B&N.; I was able to go into the store and play around with one which made me feel better about buying it. I know that there are some books on Kindle that I'm going to try and convert.

I'm pretty sure that's what I have. I have the nook color and this did NOT work for me. I just ordered one directly from Barnes and Noble. It took a long time but at least that one works. Hope this helps. Good luck.

There's a comparison of the two here: http://blog.laptopmag.com/nook-color-vs-galaxy-tab/ It compares stock Nook Color to the Tab, not rooted.

I got the Nook over Kindle because I called both with the same questions when it came to the Kindle I was on the phone for over 30 minutes with a person I could barely understand who could barely understand me and I think they didn't know English at all almost when I called B&N; for my question for the Nook Color I was off the phone in less than 10 minutes with all question answered and spoke to a person who spoke English fluently. In my eyes the Nook has better customer service.

I have the Kindle and the Nook app on my Coby 8024. Both work well, although with the Nook sometimes it asks me to download my books again; even after downloading them. The Nook app has more options in the menu screen; which possibly makes it a better app; but the Kindle app is so seamless and easy to use I find myself using that one more often.
