Somewhat bias. Not bad although, it’s just that she was hesitant when giving the nook a winning point, and overly emphatic of the kindle’s features, At times, she was just absurd, for instance when she wrote on storage that the nook “has a bit more”… as a matter of fact?! Is doubling storage just making it a bit bigger? It is bigger! Even considerably bigger or a lot bigger would have been assertive . Plus downplaying that the nook SDCard expansion is in other words an atrocity. She made the winner of the category the kindle over it’s free cloud storage, however being it a PORTABLE devise in nature, without mobile internet connectivity available at this stage, it makes the most sense to have lots of storage space and with options to expand.
