Just thought I would let you all know that Amazon has released BRAND NEW Kindles at some amazingly low prices. They even have a Kindle in color (Kindle Fire, $200, a Kindle B/W touch, as well as with/without the keypad). I really want to get my kids a Kindle ($80 version!!).
I have a classic Nook and a Kindle (keypad, about 6 months old). Personally, the Kindle is far better for speed and customer service. After the last update on my Nook, it is running like a snail and lags a LOT more than it did. I tried calling customer service but they were of NO help. My Nook has been turned off and shelved for about a year.
Do your research and check the FB pages for both as well as the discussions. Find friends who may have one or the other device and compare.
I have not bonded with the Nook; but have owned it since 10/2010. Had to have it replaced due to battery. very pleased with customer service!! Note: I was reminded by Customer Service, you have to charge your NOOK every week whether you use it or not!!! that’s kind of a pain, here I’ve gone 2 weeks w/o using the NOOK and have not recharged it…makes it seem like the battery is not a good quality.
Really want a Kindle w/o wifi for kids….looking at Sony.

I love my kindle! My son mentioned wanting one, I told him as soon as he is reading. Is there a way to move books when you get a new one?
I am really impressed with what I have read about the Kindle Fire. I can’t wait to see what they do with it next. I am sure Amazon intends it as a viewing device for their streaming video service, which is so tempting – comes out to about $6.50 a month (Netflix is 7.99) but there is no way (as far as I can tell) to watch the videos on your television, like we can do with Netflix and our Wii. But bundling the video service with free two day shipping – dangerous! If I wanted something, I could just click the button and a couple of days later I have it! Oh my that might be too much temptation for me.
My plan is to see how all these new products and services are doing at Amazon a year from now. The kindle concept is clearly here to stay – and the sky is the limit with amazon’s cloud storage, new browser, etc. I will start saving my pennies for this new device, I think. Maybe.
And I can’t believe a new basic kindle is down to $79! Amazing!
Mor-blessed,
It’s extremely simple to move books when you get a new Kindle. You don’t do anything. It automatically went from our first Kindle directly to our second Kindle’s archives, ready to download the ones you want with a mere push of a button.
I’m considering, if we have the money, passing down our Kindles to our boys. I really love my Kindle with the keyboard, though, so I’m not sure what to do, if I should go for the new or not.
Jennifer,
Great news. I am thinking my son will be ready for mine at the end of this school year and I will get a new one for my birhtday. Thanks for the info!
GEM – We watch videos from Amazon on our TV. All hubby had to do was get a cable to hook the laptop up to the TV. Totally possible!
Hmm sounds like I need one of those cables! Thanks for the tip. Can you compare the Amazon service to netflix for us? Have you used both?
