E-reader

So not related to this website but I was curious....anyone have one and what are your thoughts?    Can't decide on nook tablet or kindle fire.

 

Thanks!!

Re: E-reader

  • I have the regular Kindle and I love mine!!  I got it for Christmas last year.  The Kindle Fire looks really cool and you can downoad apps and other stuff to it.

  • I have a Nook, got it nearly 2 yrs ago so it's one of the old ones, still works great and I love it.

  • I got the Nook Color for Christmas last year and I love it!  My only gripe (and this is true with all e-readers) is the price of the electronic books.  Most books cost the same as a paperback and I expected them to be significantly cheaper.  I don't understand why I need to pay $8-16 for an electronic version which requires practically no overhead.

  • My DH recently got the Kindle Fire and I thought I would hate it as I am very loyal to "old fashion reading" but I absolutely love it.  I'm actually considering buying one for myself now so I don't have to share!  Our library loans out e-books too so you don't have to pay to buy every book you want to read.  I also found four freebies through Amazon that I have read and enjoyed, but that I probably wouldn't have picked up if I had to pay for them.  

    I have no experience with the Nook, but my DH is a gadget guy and spent weeks comparing the two and chose the Kindle so I trust his opinion.

  • My DH had a Sony e-reader for a while and loved it, but just got the Fire and says it has surpassed all his expectations, he loves that thing. 

    The e-readers use e-ink so you need a light to see the screen in the dark, but the battery lasts longer and the screen doesn't hurt your eyes.

    The Fire has a regular screen like a computer, so it's backlit.  You don't need a light to see the screen, but you can't see it in full sun.  The battery has been ok so far, but man my eyes hurt after a while of looking at that thing.  (Same with computer screens for me though...)
