The Nook Tablet and the Kindle Fire are poised to take on iPads in the education market.  Will these lower cost tablets prove to be “good enough” to gain traction like netbooks have?

The apps available on each will surely play some role.  It appears the Kindle Fire will have many more applications available at launch.  What about the company’s view of certain applications.  I had a less than pleasant experience with trying to get OverDrive working on Nooks this past summer in a public High School.  I cannot wait to try OverDrive on a Kindle Fire.

Let me know your thoughts!
