Hi,

You are right, Kindle is not accessible on Android.  Nook is fantastic on
Android and iOS.

All the best

Hi shane, happy to bow to superior knowledge but as far as I know kindle app

is not fully accessible on android, there has been some debate recently on 
the eyes-free android list bemoaning this fact. I should add that nook is 
accessible on android!

Hi

Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses but, overall, I
prefer Android.  Yes, you can access Kindle titles on Android devices,
provided  you've installed the Kindle app.
