Going Paperless: Is it Time to Buy a Tablet?

NOOK Color eBook Tablet Pros and Cons

NOOK Color eBook Tablet

Price Range: $249, wifi only 
Screen Size:7”
Operating System:Android 2.2 (Android 3.0 may be supported soon)
Pros: Expandable storage via MicroSD cards
Cons: Fewer apps than IOS, no camera, no microphone

The Nook is cheaper but you get what you pay for. Originally intended as an enhanced ereader, Barnes & Noble limits users to a subset of the full Android library. Evernote is available on the Nook, but it lacks a camera and there is no microphone, which makes taking voice notes impossible. While you can send your pdfs to the tablet, you’ll spend lots of time zooming in on your documents on the 7” screen in order to read the print.
