Barnes
& Noble are a threat for Amazon’s Kindle. It has been noted that Nook
performed better than Kindle, as there were so many features like best WI-FI
tablet and so on that makes the Nook, best in the market. However, with time,
Kindle has been able to beat the Nook as best E-Book reader and Google Nexus 7
has been able to beat the both. Until now, it has been the battle between
B&N, Amazon and Apple. However, now the Google is also joining the race.
Amazon has been complaining from day one of the launch of the Nook tablets that
B&N is charging $50 more than the Amazon Kindle. However, now finally Nook
manufacturers have understood and they have reduced the price of the Nook
tablet by $50. Now you can have your Nook tablet at $179 for the 8GB variety
and for 16GB model, it is not costing $199 only. The price of the Nook color
has also been reduced and it does cost now $149. It does appear as well that
B&N might come with new model by the end of this year. However, it is now
sure that the Nook is going to cost you less than Amazon Kindle and Google
Nexus 7. However, still Google Nexus seems to be at the top. It’s a challenge
for Nook App Developers.
We are
right now in summer 2012 and it does appear that Google Nexus 7 is the best
7-inch Tablet that you can buy right now. You need to pay same $199 as the
Kindle and Nook. Yet you get some of the best features like Bluetooth, Camera,
GPS and better graphics. You are also being provided with the full Android
Google Play app store.
You
should know that Amazon and B&N provide the curate versions of this app
store with much less number of apps. You will also see the Nexus7 to provide
you an access to all e-Books through various apps from Amazon and B&N. this
is something awesome and great news for business
mobile development.
The
weight of Google Nexus 7 is just 12 ounce and this is much less as compared to
the weight of Nook Tablet and the weight of Kindle Fire, which are respectably
14.1 ounce and 14.6 ounce. The Nook color weighs around 15.8 ounce that is
certainly quite close to one pound. We are approaching the fall and hence the
Christmas buying season is certainly on cards with all mobile application developers working
hard to come up with new. It is quite certainly that both the Amazon as well as
Barnes & Noble might come up with the new products and the launch of a
smaller Ipad is on cards. Hence, it is wise to wait until then before buying
any new model.
If you do feel that you cannot wait then you might have to regret if you
find an updated version of the model you just purchased in just a few weeks
time. However, there are some recommendations of the 7-inch LCD tablet that you
can buy. Let us name one that is now even cheaper. It is Barnes & Noble
Simple Touch with Glow light, which is the latest version of the Nook Simple Touch
and this is the only e-ink model that will give you the self-illumination. It
is a touch screen e-reader as well as you will find it to be ad-free as well as
compared to Amazon Kindle.
