It can be challenging to convince an Apple fan to consider an Android tablet, as their loyalty to Apple products is often unwavering. However, there are rational consumers who are willing to look beyond the iPad. For these objective buyers, here are a few reasons why an Android tablet can be a better choice than an Apple device.
- Variety of Options: While iPad buyers are limited to the hardware and operating system provided by Apple, those who prefer Android tablets can choose from a wide range of manufacturers offering different sizes and models.

The Nook Color is slightly larger and heavier than the e-ink Nook. It weighs 15.8 ounces and measures 8.1 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 0.5 inches in thickness. The front of the device is made of hard plastic, while the back has a smooth, rubberized finish.
