The author’s conclusion is nuanced: while both devices are remarkable, the choice depends on priorities (storage and font options favor Kindle; battery replacement and external storage favor Nook). The author’s tentative stance—considering waiting for a superior, merged device—reflects a cautious, evaluative ending rather than an absolute verdict (Booth et al., 2008). The conclusion signals that neither device is universally superior; each excels for particular user needs, and decisions should be guided by individual priorities (Swales & Feak, 2012).
