The Amazon 3G Kindle: Does It Stack Up to the Nook, iPad and Galaxy Tab? Or Is It Better?

Amazon's 3G Kindle seems to come out on top in user reviews and critics' reviews alike. But does the device really meet expectations? You can decide for yourself with this quick comparison.

Amazon 3G Kindle vs. Barnes and Noble Nook

Almost everything about the 3G Kindle seems to compare with the Nook. They both have a similar screen size, the same easy-on-the-eyes display, the same ability to read in the sun and even free WiFi access.

Heck, the 3G-enabled Nook even comes with free access with no monthly fees just like the Amazon Kindle. So what makes the Kindle that much better?

It's a difference in price, for one. The Kindle is $10 less than the Nook for both versions - the WiFi-only as well as the 3G-enabled one. The Kindle costs $189 while the Nook charges $199 - over $200 by the time it's all said and done, especially since you'll probably have to pay tax on the Nook while you won't have to on the Kindle.

The other difference is its keypad. The Kindle comes with a real keypad and real buttons, which many users find very helpful. Some readers' fingers are simply too big for touch screen buttons. That problem is fixed on the Amazon Kindle.

Amazon 3G Kindle vs. Apple iPad

Now this isn't exactly an apples-to-apples comparison. Everyone knows that the Apple iPad has tons of features no other ebook reader has, including the ability to play games, apps, music and a number of other things. But there are some glaring - literally, glaring - differences between the two.

The Amazon 3G Kindle has a better screen, for starters. Who cares if the iPad has retina HD display if you can't read it sitting outside? Isn't that half the point - to read while you're sitting on the beach, at a ball game, or watching your kids play outside? The Amazon Kindle's screen lets you read in any kind of lighting, which is a big plus.

The second issue is huge - the price. For just a few more extraneous features, you pay at least $300 more for an iPad than you do for a 3G Kindle, and that's if you only want to the one with the least space capacity.

Amazon 3G Kindle vs. Samsung Galaxy Tab

There's almost no comparison between the Amazon Kindle and Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Galaxy, which looks cool, doesn't really stack up price-wise to the Kindle.

The Samsung Galaxy runs on a Google Android operating system, which makes it run smoothly. However, for $500, you pay dearly for that.

Let's look at what you'd need to buy for the Galaxy. For starters, you HAVE to purchase the first month of 3G access on Verizon's network. No, unlike the Kindle and Nook, it's not free.

Then, you have to pay for subsequent months of 3G access if you want anywhere-Internet.

Then, there's the price. As I mentioned a few seconds ago, it's at least $500. The Kindle is more than $300 less, making it a heck of a lot easier on the wallet.

Furthermore, there's none of that read-anywhere screen like on the Nook and the 3G Kindle. You'll get problems with shine just like you will on the iPad.

So in the end, the Amazon 3G Kindle is your best bet as far as price, size, features and display. You'll get free Wifi, free 3G access anywhere in the world, an unhindered display and a great Web browsing experience. There's one more thing that the Kindle 3G does better than the competition, but since there isn't room for that here, I'll let you click on over to http://www.squidoo.com/3g-kindle to read about this one really cool feature.
