A snippet from a long article at Andrys Basten’s A Kindle World Blog:
Getting right to it, because this will be a very long read: Out of all the tablet-reader comparisons I saw, geek com’s is the most comprehensive while keeping it simple. I recommend a read of that one, to begin, for the specs involved and clear descriptions of what these two devices can and can’t do, though it’s not as detailed as some articles.
I’ve included, below, links to other articles that also offer more than the usual pure typing of hardware specs without context.
First, a superficial thought: I own and enjoy (and showed off the other night) my year-old NookColor, the one with the single-core processor, which won’t be able to do Netflix as the two new small tablet-readers will be able to, but the older NookColor has color against a black bezel, a favorite combo because it throws the attention on the colored content. Why did B&N make only a beige bordered tablet?
And, a caution: I posted on a forum last night that B&N quietly re-partitioned any NookColors sold from May 2011 on, to change the model’s internal structure so that instead of having 4-5 gigs available for our personal books downloaded elsewhere, along with Nook books, NookColor owners are now alloted only 1 gig for side-loaded content. How will that work for movie files we sideload?
