Nook vs Kindle: Battle of the Android eBook Apps
Both Amazon and B&N have physical eBook readers, the Kindle and Nook (which runs on Android), respectively. Both now have apps available free in the Android Market to read and sync eBooks published in the corresponding online store. Both are very fast and have the same basic set of features, but neither can read the other’s eBooks, which is understandable, but a shame (we might talk about that in a future post). But which app is better? That might not be the right question to ask. BetaMax was technologically “better” than VHS, HD-DVD was technologically “better” than Blu-Ray, and 8-Track was “better” than cassette. But if you’ve got a “losing” player, you’re not going to be able to watch the movies or listen to the music that you want because they aren’t made for the “losing” formats. Apply the same analogy to eBooks and you see where I’m going. eBooks might not be available at B&N, but are at Amazon, and vice versa. Or, as I found out, the pricing may be better at one store than the other. But all that aside, let’s look at the two eBook reader apps! Trying to stay on the “Android” theme, I went out and got a copy of Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot from Amazon for US.29 amzn.to and B&N for US.70 bit.ly then show you the experience I had with each in the two eBook readers. is.gd

What about epubs ???
A dog issue hahaah, this guy is awesome
but Aldiko is the best!
Nook let’s you side load books. Amazon does not. Nook reads ePub, Amazon does not.
Do either of these support text-to-speech?
don’t like the dog ears and like the page turn graphic, why not just buy an actual book?
I think that the nook color is way better than the kindle. U can actually get some apps know!!!!!

Is there any apps for reading ebooks like pdf on android tablets?
@fyrogenesis I know that the Android Kindle app has all these features, can’t speak for the Nook app.
Hi,
I have just purchased an Android tablet and downloaded the Kindle. I too would love to see the page animation, but with this tablet, I DO have the scrollbar to rifle through the pages. Thanks for this video, I am looking for comparisons. Cheers
heyyyy i have a question t my 3rd gen kindle i just got it yesterday but i can only put pdf files bec uz when i putt word it doesnt read it please helpp
Hahahaha, it’s pretty funny that you’re nitpicking on virtual dog-earing pages. Lol, no disrespect, I’m the same way with real books, I always use bookmarks.
NO HIGHLIGHT/ANNOTATION/DICTIONARY LOOKUP?
@zsmorr92 You can only lend a book ONCE, and you can only lend like 1 book a month. It’s not as amazing as you think it is.
@fililoll2000 apple fanboy they just ripped off kindle and nook and ibooks has WAY less books than nook and kindle
The new NOOK app update leaves Kindle even further behind
@midgetman433: The problem is that Amazon own the mobi format it uses and noone else uses it. Most books from everyone else use the ePub format.
Dude, its not an actual piece of paper…I think the dog ear will be okay
