Some dudes were crazy enough to do drop test pitting Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablet and Barnes & Noble’s Nook Tablet, the two newest Android tablets that are essentially e-book readers. Fortunately, these tablets are quite cheap compared to full-fledged tablets. The Kindle Fire costs only $200 while the Nook Tablet costs $249. This video really achieves nothing but it’s still worth knowing which of these new tablets will likely survive accidental drops. For specs comparison, check out the table after the video.

I’m planning to buy a kindle fire. But it seems like Nook is a better catch! Thanks for this comparison! :)
