So, how does one stack against the other?
The Price
The cheapest price for a brand new Nook wireless is 9 while that of a brand new Kindle wireless is around 9. While the dollar difference might make the Kindle the obvious choice for bargain hunters, there are some things about the book that might sway you in its favor.
Nook Features
Said to be the best in its class, Nook use a 16-level grayscale display that lets you read an ebook as if it were a newly printed paperback. Nook is actually touted the best in its class by the G4, 2010 Consumer Electronics Show. Unlike the Kindle, you can view book covers in color.
But what makes the Nook ebook really unique is its Exclusive LendMe™ Technology. You can lend books to your books for up to 14 days to any Nook, computer, or Nook-enabled handheld device.
Wi-Fi enabled, you can use access free Wi-Fi by going into a Barnes&Noble store and at any AT&T Wi-Fi hostpot.
Kindle Features
Weighing in at only 8.5 pounds, you can read comfortably for hours with the Kindle with only one hand, although it isn't as much as fun as Nook in being able to view book covers in color.
The new generation Kindle automatically detects any Wi-Fi hotspots and can get you connected to the Amazon Kindle store, that is, if you have a username and password. It edges the Nook in terms of battery life, which can last 3 weeks to one month depending on whether you turn on the Wi-Fi or not.
