Bookshelves taking up space. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 03/02/2011 06:10:54 AM
Shouldn't be difficult question at all.

You're right; for someone who lives in a house with more electrical outlets than bookshelves, it isn't! I'm looking forward to eventually clearing space and getting a large desk for things which actually do need to take up space. You can plug an ereader in at night, you know. Just like a cell phone. Or do you still only use landlines so you don't run out of batteries in the middle of a call?

Now, have you actually ever used a modern ereader for an extended period of time, or is this one of those "I just KNOW I won't like it" complaints? Because "it runs out of batteries" is quite possibly the worst reason I've seen to dislike ereaders. I should know; I used it back before I actually had one.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

If you want books from the library then the nook is a lock random thoughts - 31/01/2011 08:28:55 PM 839 Views
Just make sure you look at your library's Online selection first. everynametaken - 01/02/2011 01:43:49 AM 995 Views

If you won't strip DRM, for whatever odd reason, get a Nook. Ghavrel - 31/01/2011 08:35:26 PM 796 Views
Books bought from Barnes and Noble do have DRM. everynametaken - 01/02/2011 01:39:54 AM 1123 Views

you don't need batteries with real books *NM* Yunalesca - 01/02/2011 10:50:30 PM 481 Views
And you don't need bookshelves with ereaders. Ghavrel - 01/02/2011 11:06:39 PM 793 Views
Which is more irritating, bookshelves taking up space or running out of batteries while reading? Bergioyn - 02/02/2011 10:57:50 PM 879 Views

I was sure that the best I could ever do was tolerate ereaders. Gher - 03/02/2011 07:10:55 PM 1017 Views
