Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet Comparison

Many peo­ple are think­ing of whether to buy Nook Tablet or Kin­dle Fire. It's true that you can't decide unless a clear pic­ture what are the sim­i­lar­i­ties and dif­fer­ences in phys­i­cal and tech­ni­cal spec­i­fi­ca­tions and con­tents avail­able between two devices. Here I'm not look­ing at the sim­i­lar­i­ties, rather dif­fer­ences so that the capa­bil­i­ty of two devices can be dis­tin­guished. I put my com­ments in the third col­umn. How­ev­er, I'm not going to sug­gest one over anoth­er. You bet­ter make your judg­ment.
