iPad VS Kindle VS Nook
If your shopping for an e-book reader, making a decision with all the available choices may seem difficult at best. But if you can narrow down your options and focus in on the pertinent questions, your decision is actually much easier than you think. Let's see how you can make your task less daunting.
Barnes & Noble Nook
First ask yourself if you need only a reader or a device that does a little more. If you only want to read magazines and books, the Nook is a great choice at only $92. It offers 6-inch touchscreen display, 2GB internal memory (about 1,000 books) and WIFI connectivity.
Downloadable apps add email and browser support. The Nook is also one of the sturdiest readers out there.

Kindle Fire
If you need a little more than the Nook offers, there is the Kindle Fire at $199. The Kindle has a full color 7-inch Multi-Touch Display, 8GB internal memory, unlimited & free cloud storage along with Wi-Fi connectivity.
There are literally thousands of available apps and games including Netflix, HBO GO, Hulu Plus, Pandora and many more. This makes the Kindle Fire a strong competitor with our next device, the iPad.

Apple iPad - iPad 2
The iPad at $490 is very popular as it combines all the features of a reader with the processing power of a PC. It has a full color 9.7-inch Multi-Touch Display, 16GB internal memory (up 64GB available), unlimited & free cloud storage for iTunes content along with Wi-Fi connectivity.
The iPad is larger and heavier than the Nook and the Kindle and also has a much heavier price tag.
