whats the best Kindle to cop?
how does it compare to the Nook? and iPad?
Depends on if you're gonna use it strictly for reading or if you want games and other apps. The Kindle Paperwhite is cool if you want it solely for reading. If you plan on using apps and other shyt, then cop the Fire HD.
I haven't played with the Nook, but I have tinkered around with the iPad.
There are TONS of apps with the iPad... the Kindle has a lot also (Android), but you are pretty much limited to the Amazon Appstore; you can probably get Google Play store to work on the Kindle if you root it. The Kindle is also MUCH cheaper than the iPad (the new generation iPad with similar specs as the 16 GB Kindle Fire HD is probably gonna run you about $400-500 while the 16 GB Kindle Fire HD is $199. The iPad has a 10 inch screen while the Fire HD has two options: the 7 inch or the 8.9 inch (which runs you about $299 for the 16 GB option). You can also get tons of free or cheap eBooks from Amazon, and the Lending Library is ace (you get 1 free rental/month).
Neither one has expandable memory, but both have cloud options, so you can store shyt there if you need more space.
Both have excellent graphics.
