The Nook Tablet

Trade books, mass-market books, textbooks, magazines, newspapers, and children's books all look and function better on the Nook Tablet.

Nook tablet's screens have a resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels, which limits how sharp the text they display can be. The Nook Tablet's screen is less reflective; the LCD is bonded to the glass, which mitigates reflection and increases contrast and sharpness. 

You also looked at the same magazines and books on each device, and the Nook Tablet was the clear overall winner at rendering text. At comparable font sizes, text on the Nook Tablet looked crisper.

In presenting standard books, the Nook Tablet offered more meaningful viewing choices. Though other tablets also provide eight font-size options, the sizes on the Nook are more useful. It's definitely better for readers who need large type.

The Nook Tablet comes out on top for magazines, too. Barnes & Noble seems to have a broader selection of periodicals than Amazon does. Also, the Nook's scrubbing bar for moving forward and back in the magazine is better constructed. And the Nook Tablet's single-column text view makes far more sense, which fills the screen with hunks of text. Magazine text was more readable on the Nook Tablet overall.

The Nook Tablet has access to a wider selection of children's books than the Kindle Fire, and presents them better. The Nook Tablet has a read-aloud feature, where a prerecorded voice reads the picture book, as well as new recording capabilities, where you can record your own soundtrack to accompany the book--a nice benefit for parents and kids alike. Many children's books on the Nook Tablet have page animations: Tap a specially coded spot, the illustrations move.

If you compare nook tablet with Kindle fire, you find Nook tablet best as compared to Kindle fire.

Asustek Computer (Asus) with ARM Processor and Window

Asustek Computer (Asus) on Monday showed off a tablet with an ARM processor and the Windows RT OS, becoming among the first of its type shown by PC makers.
The product, called Asus Tablet 600, has an 10-inch display and a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 CPU. The tablet was shown running Windows RT Tablet Preview edition during the Asus news conference at the Computex trade show in Taipei.

The tablet weighs 520 grams, and is 8.35 millimeters thick. Asus did say when the device will be available.
The device is intended to be a highly mobile device, said Jonney Shih, chairman of Asus, during a speech at the news conference.
The device is a breakthrough for Microsoft and ARM, who have worked closely to bring the new OS to devices. ARM processors are found in most smartphones and tablets, and the new device provides a path for Microsoft to compete with other operating systems including Apple's iOS and Google's Android OS.
The new Asus tablet also adds weight to ARM-based devices running Windows, and a possible avenue for Microsoft to break away from its reliance on x86 chips for Windows. Windows grew up on Intel's x86 chips, and so far Windows on ARM devices have only been shown by chip makers such as Nvidia, Texas Instruments and Qualcomm, and users have not been allowed to play around with them freely.
The Asus tablet has a quad-core Tegra 3 processor from Nvidia. Windows RT comes preloaded with Office 15, a group of widely used productivity applications. Microsoft has said it had to re-engineer Windows RT to deal with expectations for ARM based devices, which include all-day connectivity and low power consumption.
The tablet also has an 8-megapixel camera at the rear with LED flash, and a 2-megapixel camera at the front. It has 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.
