That's my plan Larry Send a noteboard - 25/06/2011 08:07:05 PM
If you want a tablet, get an Ipad and don't screw around. The kindle is better on your eyes and doesn't do bullshit that you don't need it to do. Further, batter life is amazing, AMAZING on the kindle. I've had the newest one since the beginning of March, I use it everyday and quite heavily overall, and I've charged it like 3 times since I got it. Only turn the wireless on when you need it and it really lasts forever.


I have met a lot of people who claim to want to read ebooks but what they really want is a tablet. If someone wants a tablet then just buy a tablet and don't screw around.


I read ebooks on my Macbook and on my iPhone, so I plan on waiting until I buy an iPad before getting anything else that reads e-books. Considering some of the places where I read on my iPhone are dim/dark, having a backlit screen is nice, not to mention being able to use iBooks as well as Kindle and Nook software makes the options more, not less, for me.

Nook Color MightyYT - 23/06/2011 07:06:35 AM 800 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 357 Views
I am very interested in this one random thoughts - 23/06/2011 02:02:44 PM 727 Views
I used the one at Barnes and Noble, yeah. Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:32:19 PM 679 Views
It's awesome. I rarely use the physical buttons. Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:35:36 PM 608 Views

Yeah, but the Amazon ebooks themselves have terrible DRM. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:33:56 PM 359 Views
but is the advantage of the Kindle? random thoughts - 23/06/2011 04:33:58 PM 677 Views

color e-ink would be awesome LadyLorraine - 23/06/2011 01:10:32 PM 610 Views
I would guess mechanics random thoughts - 23/06/2011 01:56:11 PM 695 Views
They have color e-ink, it is just expensive Roland00 - 23/06/2011 02:29:45 PM 799 Views

Paper, because there are some things that outweigh convenience. *NM* Macharius - 23/06/2011 03:55:06 PM 342 Views
Like nostalgic adherence to needlessly outdated media! Mmm... papyrus scrolls. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:37:08 PM 341 Views
Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. Macharius - 23/06/2011 05:48:27 PM 737 Views
+1 *NM* Yunalesca - 23/06/2011 06:19:34 PM 343 Views

Oh, definitely. Macharius - 24/06/2011 03:02:51 PM 781 Views
You did say you knew they were convienent LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 02:21:18 AM 797 Views
What a snobby and pretentious comment. Thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:50:55 AM 340 Views
This, coming from someone who posts primarily to antagonize the member Republicans? *NM* Macharius - 24/06/2011 02:17:12 PM 338 Views
Conspiracy much? I hardly do that. *NM* everynametaken - 26/06/2011 06:29:28 AM 335 Views
Actually, his comment makes sense. Amyrlin - 29/06/2011 07:26:29 PM 667 Views
I'm sorry, but it does not make sense. LadyLorraine - 30/06/2011 02:02:14 AM 650 Views
Yes, you are correct. everynametaken - 02/07/2011 03:34:34 AM 718 Views

Why did you even respond in this post? You contributed nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:53:00 AM 288 Views
Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? snoopcester - 24/06/2011 11:46:43 AM 634 Views

I chose Nook. everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:41:11 AM 876 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 326 Views
Probably a good call- Borders has been circling the drain for a while *NM* beetnemesis - 29/06/2011 01:09:37 PM 321 Views
