The Nook Vs Kindle War - Who's Winning the Battle?

The world is so technologically advanced these days that we can hardly keep up with the popping trends. One day the cassette tape was invented and the next day it phased out. The CD was then introduced shortly after but then again that went out the window pretty quickly as well. Now we have MP3 music files stored in music players in almost any gadget you can get your hands on.

Everything is smaller but bigger in a peculiar way. Technology has indeed allowed us to widen our horizons in so many aspects and this includes the reading business. Long before, writers and literature junkies relied on books, magazines, journals, news briefs to keep their works published.

Now, with the new technological evolution, we see publications printed in more strange ways and forms. This gave rise to the eReader market which brings us to the discussion of the current Nook vs. Kindle product battle.

The eReader device is the current fad among the tech savvy reading generation. Now, reading is no longer limited upon printed materials such as books and newspapers. Today we have more variety when it comes to gadgets that enable us to read practically everywhere we are without having to bring along a heavy book. It lessens the hassle but still attains equal satisfaction.

That is how the makers of the Nook and Kindle came up with the idea of creating their products. Both are geared towards servicing the common tech savvy individual with his or her reading while on the go.

First it might be easier to look into the basic features that sell each product.

Let us first take a look at the main features of the Nook. The Nook has wi-fi access built in. You can buy books directly from the Barnes and Noble website, as well as download free books from Google. These Google books are more along the lines of public domain books rather than new releases. The Nook has an expandable memory up to over 32gb of removable memory cards. The gadget is colored and has a touch screen mechanism.

The Kindle on the other hand caters to the more basic and core needs of a reader as opposed to the features of the Nook.

The Nook Vs Kindle war will rage on, especially with both of them dropping their prices recently. It's up to you to decide which device is right for you.
