| Bottom line | The $199 Nook Tablet (8GB) matches up well to the
Kindle Fire in specs and price--and has the added advantage of offering an expansion slot for additional memory. | With its excellent design, useful software features, and low starting price, the
Nexus 7 is the cheapest way to experience the best that the Android OS has to offer. | The
Kindle Fire (2012) takes it up a notch in value, but is tethered to the same design oversights of the original. | With more storage and a growing app store, the Nook Tablet is a worthy--albeit slightly more expensive--competitor to the
Kindle Fire. | 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. |
