The Barnes and Noble Nook HD and Kobo Arc are two of the latest generation tablets to hit the market in the last few weeks. As we look towards the holidays and consider gifts for our loved ones, you might consider either of these two devices. The purpose of this comparison is to show you the main differences between the two, to give you a sense on how they perform in real world conditions.
During the comparison, we focus exclusively on the reading experience. Barnes and Noble and Kobo both bill these tablets as e-readers. They both offer a wide array of content to really make magazines, newspapers, comics, kids books, and cookbooks shine.
