Kindle apps have the same format that you can use on PC and Mac, as well as Iphone and android. As long as it’s able to work on one, it should be able to work on them all. Kindle even has ads on that states the same thing. Buy once and it works on all devices.
Hi, Lynn, neither Nook nor Kindle handles eTextbooks well however Barnes and Noble has something for a regular PC or MAC including a laptop or a desktop. An eTextbook is a digital, downloadable, version of a physical textbook. It can be read on your PC and Mac with B&N’s free NOOKstudy application. An eTextbook will look exactly like the physical version so you will see the same graphs, charts, drawings etc. The best part is that you can read your eTextbook anywhere that you bring your computer without needing the internet! And, you have the option to purchase or rent it depending on your needs.
Nook Simple Touch is the best device at the best price (currently $99 without ads vs. Kindle Touch $139 without ads). Kindle has a bit more space built-in but Nook has enough for about 1,000 ebooks and can also take in microSD card for additional 30,000 ebooks (no microSD slot on Kindle). Nook has better battery life, 25% faster page turns, brighter screen than on Kindle, supports ePub format, and can checkout ebooks from public libraries. Also, If you walk in with the Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you’re allowed to read ANY of over 2.5 million available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi and you get free technical support in case of issues in any of the store.
You can buy Nook’s at Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Millon, Walmart, BestBuy, Staples, OfficeMax, Fred Mayer, P.C. Richard, Radio Shack, Target, Fry’s, Kmart, Sears etc. stores and web sites.
Kindle is works best with Amazon ebooks. You can visit amazon and download the ebooks directly to your device !
