through the consumer lens:
can i buy and read books? both.
can i watch movies with it? both.
play sudoku? both.
listen to music and audio books? both.
my kids can play angry birds? both.
cost the same? nope, the kindle fire costs $50 less.
- allenp 15y agoI'd add consumer brand confidence B&N vs Amazon. In this case B&N needs to overcome at least $50 worth of Amazon's influence to even the odds. Another thing I'd add is brick and mortar retail availability - in this case I believe the Nook is also available at Target as well as B&N's stores, and that might influence some shoppers who want to try before they buy.
- esrauch 15y agoI believe that Kindle is also available at most brick & mortar stores that Nook is (not B&N obviously).
- wazoox 15y agoThe xNook have a decisive, killer advantage to me : they support countless available free ePubs.
- ianburrell 15y agoThat shouldn't be a problem for the Amazon Fire. It has the Amazon Appstore and that contains a bunch of ebook reader apps, including Aldiko and Kobo which both read ePub books. The former even does Adobe DRM.
