Oh it's coming. Aemon Send a noteboard - 27/07/2010 08:36:22 PM
(See the link.)

I really love my nook. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do.


This is the response of everyone I've ever known to buy a dedicated e-reader. Every time I've gotten in an argument with someone about these devices, I ask "do you have one?" And I always get back, "well, no, but I've tried one, and it couldn't possibly replace the smell of stale glue!"

They take some time to get used to, but readers are teh bestest.

Now, if they'd just publish EVERYTHING in eFormat on day one....


As I say, that's definitely coming. Amazon already sells about 20% more ebooks than hardcover books, and the Kindle is (supposedly) one of their bestselling products. ebooks are absolutely here to stay, and it's just a matter of time before publishing companies recognize and fully embrace them. They're just cranky because they don't want to stop charging eight dollars for a book.

I've worked out the one feature that will make an Ebook reader appealing. Mix - 27/07/2010 11:34:52 AM 865 Views
+1. That's the only way it could have a usability advantage over books. *NM* Tim - 27/07/2010 11:54:38 AM 269 Views
Just make sure it floats as well. Fishing it from the bottom of the lake would be a challenge. *NM* Avendesora - 27/07/2010 12:26:06 PM 247 Views
Floats and a wrist strap maybe. *NM* Mix - 27/07/2010 02:23:39 PM 258 Views
What makes it appealing is that you can bring many books in one device and Helene - 27/07/2010 12:27:06 PM 562 Views

I was once completely against the notion of e-readers. I like the feel of books Helene - 27/07/2010 06:21:05 PM 453 Views
Put it in two opposite facing zip-loc sandwich bags. Aemon - 27/07/2010 12:44:23 PM 488 Views
Not sure if I'd trust a $0.02 plastic bag.to protect a $199 (AUD) toy. Mix - 27/07/2010 02:28:55 PM 544 Views
That's actually what I do with my iphone when I'm on the boat. Avendesora - 27/07/2010 03:10:33 PM 576 Views
you could even attach a 3rd one, put a hole in it and attach some string and a band to it LadyLorraine - 27/07/2010 04:21:17 PM 515 Views
I'll just put a beacon in the 3rd bag so the coast guard could locate my phone. *NM* Avendesora - 27/07/2010 05:18:26 PM 254 Views
but I somehow doubt they'll do it for free LadyLorraine - 27/07/2010 07:51:57 PM 560 Views
I can see your point, but there's very little risk. Aemon - 27/07/2010 08:27:40 PM 485 Views

Nice *NM* Mix - 28/07/2010 12:20:12 AM 242 Views
