Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet?

[vanillacourage]

Am getting one for my mom and stepdad. Which would be better? I have a Nook Tablet and in retrospect would have preferred the Kindle for access to Amazon Prime. But, the recipients are not super tech savvy and may actually prefer to be able to go to a store for help getting books loaded.

Thoughts?

Same as you. I got a Nook tablet last year for Christmas and it's okay for reading but I hate it for surfing. In going to root it and give it to my 3-year old. I got a Kindle Fire from my firm this year and I debated keeping it, but I'm going to return it and put it toward a new iPad. I wish I had asked for the Fire instead of the Nook last year.

CJ I'm kicking myself for not buying it online at the sale we talked about. Oh well.

Not sure if it's the best option for them, but I definitely love the Kindle! And if you order in the next 7 ish hours and do one day shipping, it should be here Monday. Also, I think Best Buy carries them. (If time is an issue for you)
