| Bottom line | The
Kindle Fire (2012) takes it up a notch in value, but is tethered to the same design oversights of the original. | The Barnes & Noble Nook HD's sharp screen and comfortable body make it an ideal
tablet choice, especially for reading books, magazines and watching movies. Google Play now only adds to the allure. |
