Text-To-Speech- The Kindle 2 has a text-to-speech function that can be switched on, and the expedient will read the text to you instead of display it. This is only available for the books and other publications that give permission to do this.

Android Software Platform on the Nook- The Nook has the new Google software called Android installed. The Android software is comparable to the iPhone software, in that applications can be developed and used on it. That means that many apps are going to be available on the Nook ebook reader.

Both the Kindle 2 and Nook have Pdf document readers.

So you can see that when you compare the Nook and Kindle 2, they are certainly quite similar.
