We enjoyed the option to switch on “Publish Defaults” for text, but the inability to select the number of reading columns - just might be a deal breaker.
If you insist on integrating comics and books in the same app, Nook has you covered. Overall: The Nook’s UI is a welcomed change from the dark Kindle UI and offers a beautiful layout. The Nook app automatically selects a number of columns for you based on your text size – for me, this is a deal breaker and makes reading not as comfortable. We did not like the fact that columns could not manually be adjusted for reading within the application. We also enjoy the fact that the Nook app’s settings allow for a “Publish Defaults” option it is easy to switch on, and almost always seems to format an eBook perfectly. The application has a page slide animations which pushes pages out of the way while more beautiful, I find the animations a bit distracting after an extended reading period. That being said, we recommend using comiXology’s app for comic book reading. Amazon has begun to introduce comic book content into their store, but for now – Nook has the edge.
The Nook store has a vibrant collection of media including books, magazines, and comics. Unlike the Kindle UI, which tucks the store away until you need it, the Nook app’s start screen is a mixture of your content and what Barnes and Nobles hopes will soon be your content. Users can scroll to the right to access more of their collection or start browsing content from the store.
The application design is a nice bright refresher compared to Amazon’s dark Kindle UI. The Nook app opens up to display your “Daily Shelf”, a five item collection of your latest content. UPDATE: Since this article, a new version of the Amazon Kindle app with a brand new UI has been published click here to learn more.
