Post your comments for Nook Passes Fire in Web Traffic in June here

I'm confused. In this report does "Web traffic" mean just browsing and Web-basse3d e-mail, or are ebook downloads included too? Either way, it points out the color-screen Nooks are more popular for non-reading purposes than the Kindle Fire.

FWIW, I own a Kindle Fire, like it, and use it to check e-mail and watch videos in addition to reading ebooks; I also use it occasionally to surf the Web, but prefer waiting until I get home and can fire up a computer. I have no doubt the color-screen Nooks are superior to the Kindle Nook in the limited-tablet category, but having had a taste I now want it all -- a full-fledged tablet with more power, more storage, more ports, cameras and all the rest. I'll keep what I have, but use it primarily for its original purpose of reading books. I probably won't bother installing an e-reader app on the tablet at all, unless I'm going to be away for a few days; one or the other will do for overnight, and trips lasting two or more weeks might make both devices worth carrying ... along with my featurephone. (If I used a smartphone instead, I might think differently.)
