Life in the tablet category used to be simple. There were 7-inchers and 10-inchers and comparisons only occurred within each tablet's size category. This year however, Apple, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble have successfully muddied the once-clear waters by respectfully releasing 7.9-inch, 8.9-inch, and 9-inch tablets. So how do they compare? Let's find out.

Life in the tablet category used to be simple. There were 7- inchers and 10- inchers and
comparisons only occurred within each tablet's siz e category. This year however, Apple,

The iPad Mini's 7.9- inch, 1,024x768- pixel screen has wide viewing angles and good color
reproduction, but when it comes to resolution, it can't hold a candle to either the Kindle Fire HD
8.9 nor the Barnes & Noble Nook HD+. By comparison, text and pictures can appear blurry and

The Fire HD 8.9's 1,920x1,200- pixel screen looks bright, vibrant, and the dark background and

3. The Nook HD+ has the highest resolution of the group with 1,920x1,280 pixels on a 9- inch
screen. Text, pictures, and videos look incredibly sharp - - maybe slightly sharper than on the
Fire HD 8.9, but it's really difficult to tell. However, the Nook HD+'s screen is much more
susceptible to moisture, so oily fingerprints tend to create a moire effect on the screen, blurring
certain assets, especially text. Honestly, it can sometimes ruin the effect that having more pixels
offers. As long as you keep things dry, however, you won't notice it.

4. Weight
The iPad Mini weighs 0.68 pound. That's incredibly light for a tablet of any siz e, and you can
clearly feel the difference when holding it in one hand. The Nook HD+ is obviously heavier, but
at 1.14 pounds, it feels surprisingly light for a tablet with a 9- inch screen. At 1.22 pounds, the
Fire HD 8.9 is the heaviest of the bunch, and while it's only 0.08 pound heavier than the Nook
HD+, the weight difference feels even greater than that. While the Nook HD+ feels light when
held in one hand, I can't say the same about the Fire HD 8.9.
Apps
Surprise, surprise, the iPad Mini wins on apps. Not necessarily because it offers more apps, but
because it offers more high- quality and useful apps, most of which were made specifically for
the iPad platform and aren't simply stretched iPhone apps. Many of the Fire HD 8.9's best apps
are iPad or iPhone ports and, for now at least, you won't see many high- quality exclusive Fire
HD apps, if at all.

5. The Nook HD+'s app availability definitely lags compared with the others. It's not horrible and
you'll see games like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope here, but not so much the N.O.V.A. 3s and
Need for Speeds of the world. Also, there really aren't many 3D games on the Nook HD+. A
pity, considering its GPU is just as powerful as the Fire HD 8.9's, which plays host to quite a few
polygonal games.
Media
The Nook HD+ excels at books, magaz ines, and catalogs. While it does offers movies and TV
shows, currently its offerings are disappointing, as the movies and TV shows you'd most want to
see, like many of the latest and greatest ones, just aren't here. There's also no native Nook
music service, and overall it's simply not on the level as the Fire or iPad when it comes to
media offerings.

6. Amaz on and Apple are relatively similar in their respective media offerings, with each providing
access to the best in movies, TV shows, books, and music. In my anecdotal experience,
however, Amaz on prices tend to be lower on certain books and music albums.
Where the Fire HD 8.9 really pulls out in front, however, is features. Things like X- Ray for books
and movies; immersion reading; 10- second rewind in Amaz on's movie player; its excellent
streaming power; and you can start watching a movie just a few seconds after you begin
downloading it really shows that the company has put some real thought into how users access
media and what they want out of their experiences.
Price
The Nook HD+ starts at $269 for 16GB. That's a great deal for a 9- inch tablet with a screen this
sharp and expandable storage. At $299, the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (16GB) is $30 more expensive.
And $329 gets you the 16GB iPad Mini. From strictly a price perspective, the Nook HD+ clearly

price sweet spot. With the Mini you're paying for access to Apple's superior App Store as well
as its z ippy performance and media ecosystem.
