Which is better amazon kindle or Sony reader of Barnes and Noble Nook for reader selection?

The Amazon kindle is the best e-book reader on the market. With 8 weeks battery life, connection to Amazon Prime, and a capacity to hold over 100,000 books, you will be excited. Get it now!

I would leave the Sony out of this entirely, to be honest. It's been around the longest, yet is the worst. You need a computer to download books to it, whereas the Nook and Kindle can both do it from the device.

Sony's selection is bad, the technology is worse... Really, this is a battle between the Kindle and the Nook. Keep in mind that the Kindle has already had a few versions out. The Nook looks great, but reports are showing it to be very buggy so far, and I found the same thing from my own demoing of it in stores.(They're also sold out until at least February.) These software bugs will likely be fixed in software over time, however.

I own a Kindle 2 and love it. I was considering the Nook anyway, because of how great the device looks, but now having used the Nook, I do not think I will. The Nook at first appears to be more intuitive thanks to that color navigation touch screen, but I actually found it to be slow, buggy, and unintuitive.

Despite the Kindle not having a touch screen and only being able to navigate via its controls on the black and white screen, I find it pretty intuitive to work with. Amazon also regularly updates the software (wirelessly, it'll just show up on the Kindle on its own) to fix bugs and improve usability. Currently the Nook has a better selection of books -- a little over double double -- which is probably thanks to them having great contacts with book publishers.

But Amazon is slowly adding things to their catalog as well, and most of what I've wanted to buy has been available for the Kindle.(Even though the Nook has 1 million books versus Kindle's 400,000 books, that's still a lot of books available. ) The Nook definitely looks sexy, but I still think the Kindle is the right choice for the foreseeable future.

Both the Amazon Kindle 2 and the Sony Reader have six inch screens and weight around ten ounces. They also both have built in dictionaries, audio player and a picture viewer. You can highlight and bookmark pages with both readers as well as change text sizes.

The Amazon Kindle 2 and the Sony Reader have around the same battery life as well which is about two weeks. The Sony Reader has many features that are not found on Amazon's Kindle 2. The Sony Reader has a touch screen where as Amazon's Kindle 2 does not.

The Sony Reader also has access to over a million free public domain titles from Google Books and is compatible with other eBook stores; the Kindle 2 does not. The Sony Reader adds to the reading experience by its capabilities to borrow books from libraries; Amazon's Kindle 2 still lacks any lending technology. Perhaps one of the biggest difference between the Sony Reader and Amazon's Kindle 2 is the Sony Reader allows for expandable memory for up to an additional 16GB; Amazon's Kindle 2 only holds 2GB of storage.

Between the Sony Reader and Amazon's Kindle 2 the Sony Reader is a far better value than Amazon's Kindle 2. With the Sony Reader you have many more options for obtaining eBooks which includes one of the biggest complaints with the Kindle which is lending/borrowing abilities. The Sony Reader's expandable memory also makes this eReader more appealing to bibliophiles.

Amazon's Kindle 2 and Barnes & Noble's Nook are both light weight and thin eReaders with six inch screens and paper like displays. They both hold up to 1500 books plus personal files, newspapers, magazines and a built in dictionary. Both Amazon's Kindle 2 and the Nook allow the capability to read books on other devices such as the iPhone, iPod Touch, PC, Mac and BlackBerry.

Their battery life is also around the same from 10 to 14 days. Barnes and Noble's Nook however, has many features that set it apart from Amazon's Kindle 2. The Nook for example has a replaceable battery and expandable memory.

With the Nook your can also personalize it with a screensaver of your photos and four color options for the replaceable back cover. The Nook also allows you to download sample's books before you decided to purchase them and has the technology to lend books to friends for a period of up to 14 days for free. Amazon's Kindle 2 has a selection of only more than 400,000 books while the Nook gives you more than 500,000 free eBooks and more than a million titles for purchase.

The Nook also has free Wi-Fi, touch control navigation and a color touch screen. To be fair there are a couple of things you get with Amazon's Kindle 2 that you do not get with Barnes & Noble's Nook such as text-to-speech capabilities and word document support. Barnes & Noble's Nook comes out on top over Amazon's Kindle 2 for many of the same reasons the Sony Reader wins out over Amazon's Kindle 2.

With the Nook there are simply more titles available for download whether by purchasing the eBooks or downloading the free ones. The lending ability and the expandable memory also give the Nook more precedent. The Sony Reader and Barnes & Noble's Nook are similar in every way except when it comes to title availability and borrowing from libraries which gives Sony Reader owners access to a wider selection of titles.

The Nook's main difference from the Sony Reader is its personalization of the back cover and screensavers. The best value eReader between Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Sony is the Sony Reader. Amazon's Kindle 2 lacks much of what Barnes & Noble's Nook and Sony's Reader can do so its elimination was first.

Barnes & Noble's Nook and Sony's Reader are neck and neck except in two areas which gives Sony's Reader the ultimate edge; compatibility with other eBook stores and borrowing from lending libraries. Barnes & Noble's Nook is currently the only sold out eReader of the three so these differences might not be a big deal to most consumers.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
