Which is better a Kindle Fire or a Nook color?

I am wanting to buy either a kindle fire or a nook color in the next couple of months. Which one is better? I would like to download games and books and magazines to read. Can I download free books? Can I download books from my local library. Are there any free games to download? How logn is the battery life? And what is the main difference between the two. Thanks

Stan answers:

Hi Opal, both Nook Color and Nook Tablet (that is Nook Color 2) are tablets that have laminated reduced glare color screen (not on Kindle Fire), full-featured web browser, Wi-Fi built-in, access to thousands of apps (including Angry Birds, Netflix, Hulu, etc.) Nook Color is one year old and has less RAM and slower CPU. Nook Tablet has double the RAM of both Nook Color and Kindle Fire, faster CPU, and double the space for photos/movies/apps/ebooks. Both Nooks have microSD slot and physical volume controls on the side (neither of those is on Kindle) and Nook Tablet also has built-in microphone that can be used for Skype calls.
Nook Tablet is MUCH better than Kindle Fire – it’s like day and night in terms of the device performance. At this time known issues with Kindle Fire are that it runs hot to touch, video playback is jerky, touch screen is not responsive and it takes 2-3 touches to register, power button placement is very poor and is prone to accidental power off, all the hype of Silk browser is not true where the browsing is actually slower than on other Android tablets, Wi-Fi connection gives a lot of trouble to users on it, etc.
I got my Nook Tablet recently and it’s as good as all pro reviews on the web said it was. Superb screen with not much glare thanks to lamination, lag-free video playback, super-fast app loading and activity, built-in microphone for Skype and physical volume controls on the side (not on Kindle Fire). It’s got Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life (30% better than Fire), the best non-glare laminated screen (vs. Very reflective non-laminated Fire screen), double the RAM and space for apps/photos/movies, microSD slot (not on FIre), mic for Skype (not on Fire), physical volume controls on the side (not on Fire.). Netflix has millions of movies (much more than Amazon store) and B&N ebook store has more content than Amazon’s with 2.5 million paid books and 2 million free public domain ones. Also it’s worth mentioning that if you walk in with any Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you’ll get tech support and you’re allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi.
Consider this pro review:
Laptop Mag
Whether it’s the bigger amount of RAM or just more mature software, the Nook Tablet feels a lot faster than the Fire. Where the Fire often seems sluggish and, on our tests, often failed to respond to our taps until we hit an icon two or three times, the Nook Tablet was always smooth and responsive.

Lisa asks…

Is there a way to get Warcraft on a Kindle Fire?

There is a book called The Hunger but mostly death games and it’s a parody to Hunger Games and everyone who has read it said it was good, for today only Amazon is giving it away for FREE!

Joseph asks…

Where can you sell used books,movies, and video games?

I live in Westminster Maryland. I am trying to help my boyfriend out with making some extra money. He just got a kindle so he really doesn’t need all of his books anymore and he only has a ps3 but has games for all different systems. We also have TONS of movies that we brought watched once then never watched again. Its to cold for a yard sale and we need to get rid of this stuff ASAP. Any ideas?

Stan answers:

If you want to sell them fast, try Craigslist. Remember to only sell them IN PERSON, FOR CASH. Anyone who wants you to ship the items to them is likely trying to scam you.

Amazon will take more time, and will cost you more, but is a lot more reliable.
