[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm waiting for the ipad mini, if it ever materializes.

Agree with PP, though, the Kindle Fire/Nook Color are going to be the same for reading as the ipad.  Backlit means eyestrain for long-term reading for some people (not all).   Depends on your comfort level.  If you want something that multi-tasks and you are just going to read occasionally, get the ipad if it's in your price range.  I think it's the most flexible option.

Is the Nook Color really comparable to the Kindle Fire?  I'm curious myself.  I see the Nook Color has email and apps, but has anybody compared, or know of journalist/expert comparisons, between the Nook Color and Kindle Fire?

I have a basic Nook for reading and I love it.  It's smaller than the Kindle so it fits in my purse. Another poster said it may be easier to borrow from your library on the Kindle than on the Nook, and she may well be right, although I haven't tried it myself from my Nook.  I did buy, for 99% on my Nook, an eBook by somebody called Jason Alexander that promises to get you downloading library books onto your Nook or Nook Color within 15 minutes.  And this is just a personal thing, YMMV, but I like the idea of supporting Barnes and Noble so it doesn't go the way of Borders, and all we have left is Amazon.[/quote]

I'm that PP.  The Nook Color and Kindle Fire are similar, although I think Kindle Fire is slightly better.  And I say that as a nook devotee.  But the Kindle apparently has a dual core processor instead of a single core.  And the Kindle has live video streaming and cloud storage.  Plus it's $50 cheaper than the Nook.  However, rumor has it that Nook will be coming out with a new nook color soon (maybe before Christmas?).  So if you are in the market for this, it might be better to wait.  [/quote]
