This review says it best!
The Nook Color (Tablet) is the better option.
Since producing eReaders both Amazon and Barnes & Noble have gone through rigorous tests to perfect their devices.
Into the specifics, we see that both eReaders have 1 GHz dual core CPU's. The Fire only has 512 MB of RAM where Nook has 1 GB. Nook also has the option of a memory card slot, while the Fire does not.
Both Barnes & Noble and Amazon have used an Android based system but have made the interface their own. Amazon made their interface dark while Nook made theirs a little lighter and easy to use.
Amazon has no easy way of getting back to the "home" page while Nook has a convenient "n" button on the bottom that'll bring up a menu to go home, to your library, the web, settings, etc. (This feature is much like the iPad.)
Both eReaders adding features for viewing videos. Both have the ability to view and enjoy videos, magazines and books. There's no real "winner" of this but the review states that the Nook makes it a tad more enjoyable to the eye.
There is a slight price difference, with the Fire being only $199 and the Nook Color being $249.
The Nook Color has the ability for more storage, extra memory than the Fire, and a microphone (to record children's stories). Obviously, you must outweigh the odds. Which one is best for you? Which one do you prefer?
For me, it's Nook Color hands down.
