Fire vs. Nook color

Got them both for Christmas, tried them both.
The Fire wins hands down. The Nook is ok for reading.

I'd get rid of both of them and get a Nexus 7.

I did notice that the battery in the Fire doesn't last nearly as long as the battery in my original Kindle, guess with all it does, it really sucks some battery power.
