- Over 1 million book titles

- Magazines

- Internet browsing

- Few games and apps

- Music

- 3g and wifi



Than you should go for the kindle touch as the better option, here take a look at this review on kindle vs nook and decide based on your own preference:

indisputably the nook colour. in case you purely favor to study purely . . the nook 2d technology. even with the indisputable fact that the nook colour is an finished blown media device with an replace coming in January that takes the OS to the Android 2.2 that will strengthen battery existence and bigger constructive houses PLUS supposedly a B&N Android keep. i have tried the iPad (i'm a ny fan) Kindle, Kobo, Pandigital (entire junk) speed Micro Cruz series (3 different one's . . should be the same as Pandigital) and the Sony. The Sony is really wonderful yet its eink purely and internet web pages truly look lame without colour. on the cost of $249 with e mail, eReader, internet, and different e book sources (Amazon, Borders, B&N) through the get carry of and move through your computing device to the storage folders, this unit is a winner. Like I say, i have tried all of them and that i'd under no circumstances attempt yet another now. also, this previous few weeks the nook colour develop into Rooted and in case you recognize what which means, then you actually recognize the unit can now be an finished blown Android pill for $249 which kills the iPad.

At first glance, the task seems daunting--there are more choices than ever before. The good news is that the list of worthwhile choices is actually pretty short. The other good news? Prices and features are better than ever.



When we say "e-book readers," we're now really referring to three classes of products: black-and-white e-ink readers ($80 to $150); 7-inch color LCD media tablets ($200 to $250); and full-size color tablets like the iPad (most $400 and above). The market has consolidated around a handful of major players: Amazon, Apple, and Barnes & Noble are the leaders, with Kobo, Sony, and a host of Android tablet manufacturers bringing up the rear.



Choosing among those three categories of readers is the dilemma facing any shopper today. But don't worry; CNET's here to help. If you're an experienced shopper, you can jump straight to our current recommendations--or check our lists of top e-book readers and top tablets. And, if you're just trying to decide between a Kindle Fire and a Nook Tablet, check out Kindle Fire vs. Nook Tablet: How to choose. But if you're looking for a more in-depth discussion, read on to consult this quick guide, which boils the purchase decision down to seven questions:





1. Reader vs. tablet: Do you want more than just reading?



Start by asking yourself what you're really looking for. Do you just want to read books? How about magazines and newspapers? What about browsing the Web? Want to add multimedia to the mix--music, audiobooks, or video? Are you a Netflix junkie? Do you need Flash support? E-mail and messaging? Gaming?



If you want to stick with "just reading"--books, and maybe some newspapers and magazines (in black and white)--an e-ink reader ($79 to $149) is probably your best bet. They come closest to duplicating the experience of reading a book, and-- while they have some online features--you won't be distracted while reading by a stream of incoming e-mails, tweets, or Facebook messages.

If you want more functionality--and a color screen--you'll need to step up to a tablet. High-end full-size (10-inch screen) tablets like the iPad 2 (the 16GB version is still on the market), the third-generation iPad, or the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 are much more versatile than e-ink readers, and they can replace a laptop for some tasks. But they'll cost you upwards of $400 or more to start.

But there's a growing class of smaller tablets that split the difference between e-ink readers and full-size tablets. The Nook Color blazed the trail in 2010, and has since been joined by the Nook Tablet and the Amazon Kindle Fire. In addition to working as e-readers, these 7-inch color LCD tablets utilize customized versions of the Android operating system to deliver a growing variety of media, productivity, and entertainment apps. Most significantly, these products are priced from $199 to $249--at least half the price of larger (and, admittedly, more full-featured) tablets like the iPad.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best basic e-book reader: Amazon Kindle ($79, no touch screen), Amazon Kindle Touch ($99 to $189, with touch-screen), Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch ($99, touch-screen),



Best reading tablet for under $200: Amazon Kindle Fire, Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet



Best all-around full-featured reading tablets: Apple iPad (third-gen), Apple iPad 2, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you need always-on wireless data?





If you're primarily interested in reading books, you're probably going to be fine opting for Wi-Fi-only models. You only need Wi-Fi access when you're buying new books. (E-book files are stored on the device--once downloaded, Internet access isn't necessary.) So, if you're a voracious reader, you can (for instance) buy a bunch of books, toggle off your Wi-Fi, and work your way through them at your leisure. In fact, many users keep the wireless on their readers switched off most of the time since it significantly boosts battery life.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best Wi-Fi e-ink readers: Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch, Amazon Kindle Touch



Best Wi-Fi tablets: Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet, Amazon Kindle Fire, Apple iPad 2 (Wi-Fi),Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1



Best 3G e-ink reader: Amazon Kindle Touch (3G/Wi-Fi): With Special Offers; Without Special Offers



Best 3G/4G tablets: Apple iPad third-generation (4G/Wi-Fi): Verzion or AT&T; Apple iPad 2 (3G/Wi-Fi): Verizon or AT&T

The TTSUU software can help you out, TTSUU (Text to Speech Universal Utility) is a Text to Speech software that converts any text into natural-sounding speech. It reads any text for you. You can also convert the text material into WAV or MP3 audio files with this tool, so that the resulting MP3 can be played on many other devices such as iPods, PocketPCs and CD players etc. And TTSUU can even generate lyrics for you when converting text material into audios. When playing the audio, those devices with the lyrics capability, will display the original text, and therefore it will be possible for you to not only hear the text material but also get a look at the content through the display. The interface of TTSUU is very simple and intuitive, the two pillars in the interface serve as the area where you can add sticky notes that highlight points in the text content. You can pick off any interesting and salient parts of the text from any electronic documents such as MS Word Documents, Emails, Web Pages, PDF Files, etc and copy into these notes, and these can be colored to draw your attention easily.



What can TTSUU do for you?



1. Help students in learning & studies, TTSUU allows students to listen to their class notes, text books or any other written material anytime, anywhere.



2. Facilitate education, TTSUU highlights each sentence as it is read. This helps those who have learning difficulties and can help improve reading, comprehension, and spelling skills.



3. Avoids eyestrain and relax eyes, No longer strain your eyes trying to read too much tiny fonts in e-books, emails, web pages, etc. Just relax and have TTSUU read out loud or convert them to audio files.



4. Learn English or other languages, TTSUU allows you to slow down reading speed to learn the pronunciation. We provide multiple language voices: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Finish, Japanese, Chinese(Mandarin, HongKong, Taiwan), Korean, Portuguese, Danish, Norwegian, Dutch, etc.



5. Make proofreading effective, hearing your own work in a natural sounding voice allows much more effective proofreading compared to visual proofreading.



6. Generate voice book/novel, Have no time to read your favorite book/novel? No problem! TTSUU can help you listen the book/novel and what you need to do is just spend several minutes to convert them into mp3 files.



7. And so much more



-Prepare for speeches by hearing your work read aloud.



-Listen to e-books or ematerial during your commute.



-Amuse children by letting your PC read stories to them.



-Help seniors or those with vision problems.

It depends on what kind of ebooks they are. Amazon has a specific format (mobi/azw), while the Nook and iPad both read epub format. You can get a Kindle app for the iPad.



It all depends on what you're going to do with it. The iPad is - far and away - the most expensive. You can use it to write work and surf the internet and get your email, etc. And you can hook up a keyboard to it. And it takes pictures. I you need all of that functionality, then it's a great choice.



The Kindle Fire can do virtually the same thing - but not take pictures or use a keyboard (currently). It's smaller and costs less than $200.



I'm not a fan of the Nook; it's an appliance that's always trying to sell you something. It's clunky and a PITA to navigate.



I have all of the devices (iPad, Kindle File, Kindle K3, Nook, Nook touch, Nook Color, etc), because I write and have to make sure that the format looks the same on all the devices. I find that I use the Kindles (the K3 and the Fire) for recreational reading or surfing the web, not just for checking format. In fact, I'm writing this from my Fire.
