Do I want a Kindle?
Okay, all you e-readers out there. Do I want a Kindle? You know how I am. I love me a book. I love the way it smells, the way it feels, I feel secure carrying one around. But maybe it is time to come on in to the 21st century and get an e-reader? Actually, I have one. I have a Sony e-reader. I sort of like it, I sort of don't. Actually, I don't really use it. Well, that's not exactly the truth. I don't use it at all. But I'm not sure why. It may be that I couldn't exactly get the books that I wanted or that I sort of didn't like the screen...I'm not sure and I wanted to get your opinions about the Kindle. I have friends and acquaintances who absolutely LOVE their Kindle. Is it better? Or is a personality thing? Some people LOVE the e-readers and some people just don't? I really need some feedback, peeps...Christmas is coming up soon (see previous post) and I need to know whether or not to put it on my list.
Above I've posted a picture of the Sony Reader. It is pretty cool, I can't complain...except that I can't get all the books like I might be able to with the Kindle being serviced by Amazon. OR, there is the color NOOK. (see below)
It might be cool to have a color Nook - can you get magazines on that? I might like that. And, being serviced by Barnes and Noble, surely I'd be able to get pretty much any book I wanted, right?
I just don't know. Post your feedback and let me know!!
I love my Nook! I have the plain 1st generation one and I had my doubts at first too. But, it is great. I carry it with me most everywhere I go. It saves my place automatically when I fall asleep reading (no crumpled pages!). I have had no problems finding books to read. AND, you are able to check out books from the library with the Nook. It also has a memory card to save your books (for those of us who would never dream of parting with one). It was the best gift ever!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am SO glad to know that!! Do you know if you can get magazines on the Nook? Do you plan to upgrade to the color Nook?? I wonder if it has any benefits? Are you able to check books out at any library? This is so cool and exciting!!
