Barnes Noble Nook Touch Review

The new Barnes & Noble Nook Ebook Reader closely competes with the Amazon Kindle and currently has released their newest Nook 2 second generation version in WiFi only. The Nook 1st edition is still available for purchase in both WiFi only and WiFi + 3g models. You can read the Nook vs Kindle eBook reader comparison to see a side by side comparison review.

Nook Touch Review

The Nook Touch is price as the same as the Kindle Touch WiFi at $99. Kindle also offers the Touch model with 3G, Barnes and Noble does not. So which is better? As far as technical specifications go, they are pretty much the same. One difference is the Kindle Touch has 4GB internal memory, the Nook Touch has 2GB internal, but has a microSD expansion slot for up to 32GB (sold separately) if needed. Both Amazon and Barnes and Noble have plenty of ebooks to choose from - millions, so what else is different? It may just come down to personal preference - do you like Amazon or Barnes and Noble better? Do you want Read-To-Me, Whispersync and X-Ray from Amazon or 25% faster turn pages (but the Kindle now has EasyReach) and Nook Friends with Barnes and Noble? With all things being equal, I think the only real big advantage the Nook Touch has over the Kindle Touch is the memory expansion slot. Even so, Kindle now gives you free Cloud Storage for all Amazon content, so you do not have to worry so much about using up all your memory.
