I’ve been contemplating what to do about my next eReader purchase. Do I remain loyal to Amazon’s Kindle which I’ve already invested and have friends I can share books with? Or, do I jump ship and invest in the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet, a new feature rich alternative?
It’s no secret that I love my Keyboard Kindle which is easy on the eyes, has extraordinary battery life and my book cover with built-in light perfectly illuminates the screen in dark circumstances. Boo, anticipating my purchase of the new Kindle Fire, wants my old Kindle but the next device I upgrade to must have external storage, which the Kindle Fire does not.
The new Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet, available November 18, has expandable storage and a Netflix app, how cool is this? I am a Netflix subscriber so this would be an excellent enhancement! Also, in comparison Kindle books I’ve purchased so far are comparatively priced with B&N’s, so it’s not like either company has an upper hand.
It’s likely that I’ll need to wait until mid-2012 before Amazon introduces a new Kindle Fire with expandable storage. Even so, I am not currently an Amazon Prime member so their library of films that can play on the Fire is a moot point. Of course, Audible books work seamlessly on my current Kindle but I don’t know if they’ll do so on the B&N Nook Tablet.
Considerations.
Obviously Boo’s going to wait awhile as I ponder the pros & cons and by then I will, of course, have purchased yet more books in Kindle format. Maybe I can find a friend or co-worker who will be willing to let me try the B&N Tablet for a couple of days. A lot can happen in two days!

Griffith Park Fire (Hollywood Hills)
I spent an entertaining and fun afternoon at Boo's job site today celebrating and picnicking. It was a scorching 97 degrees but with the abundant umbrellas, water and consistent breeze, everything turned out fantastic!
Unfortunately the drive home was marred by a fast spreading fire in Griffith Park. I could see the flames shooting up the hillsides and felt a pang in my gut as I wondered if this was arson related. The news has confirmed that it is and a burn victim is in custody, suspected of being the arsonist.
We have terrible conditions (abundant dry brush, steep hills, 95 plus degrees, rugged terrain) for the firefighters on duty and my heart and thanks go out to them.
