Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet comment #02 : although in criteria, Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet also give Us some rough same stuff hence We could see both of tablet PC give Us better option to choose on reading with Their reader experience & that worth a lot. Please do think that with small devices on 7” tablet, optional choice of font, background color & font styles weight a lot.

So We gonna give Nook Tablet a better score because They prepare a fully laminated for Nook Tablet screen which is quite important especially if Our tablet PC felt off, right?

Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet comment #04. Well, in this particular section both of Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet has Their own strong & weakness point, like free storage on Kindle Fire slightly on 6GB for user but Kindle Fire doesn't equip any external storage while Nook Tablet only has 1GB free storage for user but Nook Tablet gives external storage option which is cost user another extra money. Although with double RAM compares to Kindle Fire, Nook Tablet seems not so far away except when We see about browser capability, Nook Tablet has better speed which Nook Tablet also claim They have better battery usage compares to Kindle Fire. True or not, We couldn't say for sure because all of Us have different style, usage & activity when using tablet PC. We decide to give rough same score in this.

Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet comment #05. Nook Tablet has a right to sell Their product on $50 more expensive than Kindle Fire if We already read cautiously on both comparison product. Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet don't come with camera or 3G connection which is really unfortunate because somehow in some countries, WiFi hotspot isn't quite come in large numbers so in this area, We again give Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet rough same score also.
