Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse... but you take a boat in the air that you don't love... she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down... tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home.  -Mal

For the average consumer, the Fire would be a better deal. For the technogeek, the Nook Tablet. I'm torn.

B&N sells theirs through Books-A-Million as well, as well the Buy-More. If B&N went tango uniform, Amazon would probably buy the B&N brick and mortar stores and support it.

Thanks for the feed back. I just love Amazon and I don't love B&N.

This reviewer doesn't think the Nook Tablet is worth the extra $50.

Some of the commenters say that it's not only got more memory, but it has a better screen and the microSD support that Fire lacks.  And, of course, that the Nook Color could be rooted, as Tink mentioned.

It'd definitely be a toss-up for me, were I in the market.

I had a bunch of money in my amazon account... And I buy from them lots... So I ordered the kindle fire a bunch of days ago... I've been wanting a smaller tablet for home and traveling... And I'm going to use the iPad for video making only...

I'm not happy about the 8gb plus cloud... Since the wifi doesn't reach very well into my bedroom... But I ordered it before I knew about the new nook tablet... But I still prefer amazon to B&N, so I don't know which I would choose...

Cancelled my Fire preorder. I might pick one up once I get my hands on one, but I might settle for the Nook Tablet.

Honestly, they still look like a toss-up to me.  If you're keen on the Amazon Prime experience, possibly go with that?

Hmmm... What to do? What to do?

I'm going to wait until I can go hands on with both. But right now I'm leaning to one or the other.
