I've been looking at Nooks and Kindles - I want one! But which one should I get? I was leaning towards the Kindle, but I stopped by Barnes and Noble and now I'm leaning towards a Nook. Which one do you have? What do you like about it? Or, are you contemplating the same thing? I'm anxious to hear what you think!
Happy Holidays!

I was contemplating and researching the same thing! I decided to go with the new Kindle. I primarily wanted an e-reader and I thought the screen on the new Kindle was a bit crisper. I also asked our computer guys at work what they would recommend and they recommended the Kindle. I've been really happy with it so far.
ReplyDeleteI love my Kindle! What sold it for me was the ability to download and buy a book anywhere I happen to be (I have the 3G version). I didn't like the idea that with a WiFi one, I'd need to be at home or somewhere with WiFi service in order to get a book - when I'm camping or at the cottage, there aren't many WiFi hotspots! I didn't want to be tied to a WiFi network or my PC if I wanted a book, so for me the Kindle was the only choice and I haven't been sorry for one single second!
ReplyDeleteI think you need to evaluate just how you will use your e-reader and what you want from it. The kindle does have its limits - you are mostly limited to buying books from Amazon for instance (but not totally limited - you can load non-DRM protected material on to it). But I don't find the Amazon pricing outrageous and I don't mind buying from them. The 3G network availability is what pushed me over the edge for buying it over the other e-readers out there, but it may not be a priority/need for you.
Good luck finding a new toy to play with. I love reading on my Kindle - whether the book is 1000 pages or just 200, it weighs the same and I can carry around hundreds of books at any time. Can't beat that no matter what e-reader you choose!
(my comment verification is imetrots - is it trying to tell me something? :-) )
LOVE MY KINDLE!!!! I've got the 3G version too and it's so cool to be able to carry my entire library with me where ever I go and have the ability to download a book when I want one. If you decide on a Kindle, I don't think you will be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for Kindle! Nook was "late to the party" and will always be playing catch-up. I read a report on a business page somewhere that B&N is in trouble financially- that alone would scare me off from the Nook, just in case.
ReplyDeleteI have Kindle V2 and LOVE it. Buying V3G for DS for Christmas.
I was also procrastinating but went with an iPad in the end! I love it.
