Re: Kindle or Nook?
I've always wanted the nook... I greatly prefer the way those are laid out. Unfortunately, they aren't free and I'm poor.
I'm sure in a year or so they'll be giving them away, so I can wait (unless I find a silly deal somewhere, but I'm not holding my breath). |

I bought a Kindle a year ago and I'm very happy with it.

One of the things I really like about the Kindle is the iPhone Kindle app. If I am in the middle of a book and don't have my Kindle with me I can pick the book up on my iPhone right where I left off. The Kindle and iPhone app keep in sync with each other. This still has the same catch as the iPad -- backlighting and high gloss screen make it difficult to read in many places, but I love the app none-the less. |
Re: Kindle or Nook?
The iPad is a fine device for many things -- indoors and normal lighting. The backlit, high-gloss screen makes it impossible to view the screen (or read) outdoors or in any other kind of lighting.

Re: Kindle or Nook?
I love that you can check out ebooks from the library on the nook. Totally free if you have a library card! Reading one from my library right now!

Re: Kindle or Nook?
How "page-like" and black/white are is Kindle vs. the Nook; does it actually look like you're reading from paper?
Also, if I have poor AT & T reception in my area, would the Kindle even be worth the investment? |
Re: Kindle or Nook?
I heard B&N is up for sale. I wonder if this will impact the nook?

Re: Kindle or Nook?
I wondered the same thing...selling a company to its own CEO :r I feel sorry for Nook owners if it does affect you all.

My somewhat-streamlined search criteria for an e-reader.
These are the revised points I would like to address with an e-reader:
Reader should:
I realize e-readers are emerging seemingly overnight, and maybe my ideal plastic-back doesn't exist exactly as I'd like it, just yet, but a guy can still ask and dream, eh? Also, I apologize for all of these criteria; I feel like I'm asking for a lot for such a primarily single-task device, but at the same time, I want to get my money's worth just like anyone else, and want to make the most out of my reading, turning it back into the relaxing hobby it used to be for me. I'm also posting this on Mobile Read, which is an e-reader forum, so that's why there's all the nit-picky details. I tried as best I could to group similar feature request together for simplicity...but nothing's ever simple with me, sadly. All help is definitely appreciated, and thanks again so much. You guys and gals really make the BOTL a joy for me, and I can't wait to combine the love of the leaf with the joy of the leaflet :SS (so terribly corny lol). Kegan |
Re: Kindle or Nook?
I didn't read your requirements, but realize this is a niche market.
