It's always a tradeoff Floffe Send a noteboard - 05/02/2011 09:23:25 PM
There are no e-readers that play DVDs (unless you count computers). An e-ink display takes about half a second to update, so watching video would be quite annoying anyway, as would playing video games. There are e-readers with other displays, but in that case you lose the paper-like quality of no backlighting and battery life drops to hours rather than days.

If you won't strip DRM, for whatever odd reason, get a Nook. - 31/01/2011 08:35:26 PM 798 Views
Books bought from Barnes and Noble do have DRM. - 01/02/2011 01:39:54 AM 1125 Views

you don't need batteries with real books *NM* - 01/02/2011 10:50:30 PM 482 Views
And you don't need bookshelves with ereaders. - 01/02/2011 11:06:39 PM 795 Views
Which is more irritating, bookshelves taking up space or running out of batteries while reading? - 02/02/2011 10:57:50 PM 879 Views
Bookshelves taking up space. - 03/02/2011 06:10:54 AM 935 Views
