kindle fire or ipad mini or nexus 7?

[Cole]

hey so price isn't too much of a deterent here I'm wondering which one to get for the following reasons.
- Best books interface, best book store with the most available content
- Watching TV shows on netflix
- Social networking (applies to all i'm sure)
- Can download my music from iTunes (can nexus and kindle do that? how to I put my music on there)
- App availability, biggest app store
- Fastest one in general
I would buy the iPad mini immediatly but the problem is iBooks is terrible and has none of my textbooks in its store. Kindle literally has everybook i could ask for in its market place including my textbooks. this book store thing is the biggest concern, does the nexus 7 have a bookstore similar to that of the kindle?

Ipad mini and the nexus 7 both have the kindle app in the app store or the play store. So for both of them finding a book won't be a problem (the app is free). Except for the kindle, the tablets have a HUGE app store. Because of this i guess the kindle fire is out of the competiton.

If i were you i'd wait a couple of months until the ipad mini with retina display comes out. The ipad mini now doesn't have a great resolution.

If you want one now, go with the ipad mini because most apps in the play store aren't edited to fit the nexus 7 screen which means you can't download them.

Get the iPad Mini and you can add a Kindle App for iOS.

All of these tablets can have music from iTunes, as music from iTunes are not DRM protected and can be used on any devices.

Among the three tablets, the iPad Mini is simply overpriced. It has poor screen resolution (1024 x 768, compared to 1280 x 800 on the other two tablets), and the processor isn't fast (it's the same as the one on iPad 2). Another thing I don't like is that content like movies and books bought from Apple can only used on Apple devices, they cannot be used on other computers or tablets. That's why I prefer to have content from service providers that are more device independent (e.g. movies and books bought from Amazon can be used on other computers and tablets including the iPad). The iPad Mini has advantage of having rear-view camera and lighter weight, but that doesn't make its much higher price worth.

There's a good user review here comparing Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD:

Let me try to give a comparison between these two devices.

Kindle Fire HD (over Google Nexus 7):
- Dolby Audio Stereo speaker (normal stereo speaker on Nexus)
- Dual-band dual antennas Wi-Fi (single band, single antenna WiFi on Nexus)
- HDMI output (none on Nexus 7)
- A bit longer battery life (11 hours vs 9-10 hours on Nexus)
- Kindle only Features like Kindle Owners' Lending Library, Kindle FreeTime, X-Ray for movies and books

Nexus 7 (over Kindle Fire HD):
- Quad-core processor (dual-core on Kindle HD)
- Supports GPS (only available on Kindle Fire HD 4G LTE model)
- Supports NFC (for device to device communication)
- A bit lighter in weight (12 oz vs 13.9 oz)
- Full access to Google Play store apps (you can sideload many of those apps on Kindle Fire as well, and 60K apps are available in Kindle appstore)

Spec-wise, the Nexus 7 is a bit better. However, I'll choose the Kindle Fire HD for Amazon's customer support and content. Amazon provides all kinds of digital content, including movies, music, books, magazines, etc., that no other content provider can beat. And with the dolby audio speaker, dual antenna WiFi, and HDMI out, the Kindle Fire HD is the best tablet in the market for video streaming, watching movies, etc.

Hope that helps.
