Yeah, it's depressing. beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 23/06/2011 03:36:02 PM
I got so excited when I first read about the development of color e-Ink. Then it's all "ohhh... it's prohibitively expensive... and it's not very good..."

I'm sure they'll get the bugs worked out one day, but it definitely won't be Christmas 2011
I amuse myself.

Kindle or Nook and why? *NM* Francie - 23/06/2011 04:40:53 AM 779 Views

Nook e-ink touchscreen. Doesn't have the idiocy of the Amazon DRM, and it's conveniently shaped. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 07:27:20 AM 393 Views
I am very interested in this one random thoughts - 23/06/2011 02:02:44 PM 804 Views
I used the one at Barnes and Noble, yeah. Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:32:19 PM 753 Views
It's awesome. I rarely use the physical buttons. Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:35:36 PM 697 Views

Yeah, but the Amazon ebooks themselves have terrible DRM. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:33:56 PM 393 Views
but is the advantage of the Kindle? random thoughts - 23/06/2011 04:33:58 PM 750 Views

color e-ink would be awesome LadyLorraine - 23/06/2011 01:10:32 PM 685 Views
I would guess mechanics random thoughts - 23/06/2011 01:56:11 PM 780 Views
They have color e-ink, it is just expensive Roland00 - 23/06/2011 02:29:45 PM 871 Views

Paper, because there are some things that outweigh convenience. *NM* Macharius - 23/06/2011 03:55:06 PM 377 Views
Like nostalgic adherence to needlessly outdated media! Mmm... papyrus scrolls. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:37:08 PM 370 Views
Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. Macharius - 23/06/2011 05:48:27 PM 791 Views
+1 *NM* Yunalesca - 23/06/2011 06:19:34 PM 376 Views

Oh, definitely. Macharius - 24/06/2011 03:02:51 PM 828 Views
You did say you knew they were convienent LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 02:21:18 AM 884 Views
What a snobby and pretentious comment. Thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:50:55 AM 372 Views
This, coming from someone who posts primarily to antagonize the member Republicans? *NM* Macharius - 24/06/2011 02:17:12 PM 373 Views
Conspiracy much? I hardly do that. *NM* everynametaken - 26/06/2011 06:29:28 AM 370 Views
Actually, his comment makes sense. Amyrlin - 29/06/2011 07:26:29 PM 749 Views
I'm sorry, but it does not make sense. LadyLorraine - 30/06/2011 02:02:14 AM 724 Views
Yes, you are correct. everynametaken - 02/07/2011 03:34:34 AM 801 Views

I don't think it's accurate to say real books will never be obsolete. Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 03:01:16 AM 636 Views
Why did you even respond in this post? You contributed nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:53:00 AM 322 Views
Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? snoopcester - 24/06/2011 11:46:43 AM 717 Views
it's a never ending cycle of irrelevancy O.O LadyLorraine - 24/06/2011 11:53:54 AM 623 Views
Re: Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? TaskmasterJack - 25/06/2011 01:51:04 AM 677 Views
because i like to remind people that e-books are bollocks? *NM* Yunalesca - 24/06/2011 04:11:07 PM 350 Views
what are your experiences that make you think so? *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 02:27:23 AM 361 Views
My goodness... Amyrlin - 29/06/2011 07:29:19 PM 775 Views

Have you used an ereader for an extended period of time? *NM* Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 03:01:47 AM 338 Views
no, and i don't want too either Yunalesca - 25/06/2011 11:56:12 AM 650 Views

It is. They literally fixed EVERYTHING I had issues with in the 1st one. Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:13:52 PM 636 Views
I chose Nook. everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:41:11 AM 957 Views
Amazon locking you into their format was one of the things that pushed me to the NOOK *NM* Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:30:23 PM 353 Views
Probably a good call- Borders has been circling the drain for a while *NM* beetnemesis - 29/06/2011 01:09:37 PM 350 Views
