The NEW B&N Nook IS a Tablet.... NOW Im interested =) VS. Kindle Fire

[tinkerbelletreasure]

I find Amazons customer service much more friendly and accessible than B&Ns. That helped make my decision.

I'll admit I don't have much experience with either, but my husband liked the fact that we could walk into our local B&N and get support vs having to call. The memory is really the biggest deciding factor for us. The Fire only has 8GB of which 2 are being used by the operating system and there is no way to expand it.

With the kindle fire you receive Internet ...is it free with the kindle or would I need to pay for a package

I am hoping that Apple comes out with a lower priced Ipad. I have looked around a little online and have read rumors that they may launch a lower price one in late winter or early spring to compete with the Kindle Fire. I don't know if it would be smaller than the Ipad or what would be left off of it to get to a lower price but I am interested. I really like my Ipad Touch and wish it were bigger--but I don't want to pay THAT much for it.

Too small to be useful as anything other than a reader, even with color. I'll take the iPad at $500 and enjoy a real pc alternative. I stream hulu plus and netflix on my ipad already and it's small... on a Nook tablet or a Kindle fire it would be much too small.

I don't think it's too small. 7in is just about the right size for some people. I can see a market for it and for the 10-12in range as well.
