Kindle Fire or the Nook ? Pls help me decide I'm lost !?

Ok I want to get on facebook and read some books but not a whole lot of books and listen to some music and read the news. It's just a back up computer really nothing big. I want to play Angry Birds also lol

Which one is faster for these things and would be better for me ? I'm kind of afraid B%26amp;N may go out of business in the future also ? Stupid question but if you get a Kindle Fire do you have to buy it online at an Amazon store or can you buy it at a retail store ? Do either one of these offer coupons or Black Friday deals that would make it a better deal for me to consider ?

Told you I'm really lost on all of this ! lolKindle Fire or the Nook ? Pls help me decide I'm lost !?
Hi, renee, since Borders is gone B%26amp;N is the only game in town for books nationally thus nobody is going out of business (other than may be Amazon by loosing money on each Kindle Fire they sell.)

I cannot be 100% sure about all the bad things that people say about Kindle Fire on the web as I myself got Nook Tablet instead but there's a lot of angry Fire first-adopters out there that are posting about returning their Kindles as soon as they can get them packed. What's confirmed at this time is that many Kindle Fire units have faulty Wi-Fi and people have a lot of issues connecting to internet according to many user reviews. Amazon's own web site has hundreds of reviews of Kindle Fire's new owners that gave it 1 or 2 star reviews (almost 600 already) because of choppy/laggy experience they got from this underpowered device - and even those that ranked it higher mentioned that it was a deeply flawed device. All pro reviewers on the web clearly voiced that Nook Tablet is a much better device with superior performance compared to Kindle Fire. Nook Tablet that had been getting rave pro reviews on the web and it is the best device in it's class. It's got Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life, the best screen, double the RAM and space for apps/photoes/movies, microSD slot and a microphone for Skype (not on Kindle), physical volume controls on the side (not on Kindle), and much zippier performance during video playback and apps usage than choppy/laggy act of Kindle Fire according to many user and pro's reviews.

See one sample review below:



CNET:

We streamed Netflix side by side with the Kindle Fire, and head-to-head comparisons were very favorable to the Nook--it simply looked better. Both tablets have the same app, but the Nook Tablet's picture looked more vivid and detailed. The Nook Tablet also has physical volume controls on the side, which come in handy--the Kindle Fire strangely lacks them. The screen, which is a higher-quality IPS display than the Kindle Fire, really shows off Netflix and Hulu Plus to amazing effect...

It's the best screen on a budget tablet that I've ever seen. More storage--both onboard (16GB) and via microSD expansion--and the ability to read EPUB files could be big news for those who want flexibility. There's plenty of expansion room, and you'll have a hard time running out of space for your apps or your magazine downloads.Kindle Fire or the Nook ? Pls help me decide I'm lost !?
Okay......



Kindle Fire %26amp; Nook have mostly the same things. There is a thing that is better than both of these, you know. Its called the ipad 2, and i heard that if you want something that does everything, thats the way to go.



But since I think your not considering it, the Kindle Fire and Nook are practically the same. Go take a look at each of them, read reviews, and decide which you like better.



And both have facebook, angry birds, and books.
