So I’m finally going to get an e-reader!
But there are a lot of choices and I’d love some advice.
Which ones do you have? What do you love about them, hate
about them? I’m leaning toward the Kindle…but am open to any suggestions.
Also…there’s still time to enter my giveaway so you can win an ARC of In the After. Just click on the giveaway tab!
I have a kindle, like, a really old one now.
ReplyDeleteIt's my second one, actually, because something went wonky with the first (kept re-starting on its own), and Amazon replaced it for free (even though it was 6 months past the warrantee), AND they shipped it to a hotel in another country (for free) since I wasn't home for a couple weeks.
They were awesome.
Personally, the two best features that I care about are size (small enough to easily stuff in a bag/purse) and the e-ink with no backlight (or the option to turn the backlight off), otherwise my eyes get really tired, and since I have dyslexia, that severely ruins my ability to read ;)
I currently have a kindle app on my netbook and love it. Someday I'll get a kindle. Right now I'm leaning towards the paperwhite kindle. I have several friends with Nooks, they like the nook but they say that if anything goes wrong their customer service is so horrible you will never get help or fix it. Again this isn't something I've experience but I've heard it from several sources.
ReplyDeleteI have the Kindle Fire and can't recommend it enough! There's room for improvement, sure--I'd like to be able to change the battery myself when the time comes and use a memory card with it--but I'd still be lost without mine!
ReplyDeleteThe best course of action is go to a good bookshop and try out different e-readers. I have an ONYX with the touchscreen and I am moderately happy with it. The customer service is horrible though. If I was to replace it I suppose I would go for a Kindle paperwhite.
ReplyDeleteI have the Kindle app on my Android tablet and love it. I do, however, recommend something that reads Kindle eBooks. There are more eBooks targeted to that device than any other. And if you have a device (such as an Android tablet) you won't be locked into a single eBook format.
ReplyDeleteI have like the first nook ever made and I love it. It's not color and doesn't have cool game or movie watching capability, but for reading it's great. I do want to get a kindle fire eventually though. I am a bit nervous though because I know a lot of people who have had a lot of issues with theirs.
ReplyDeleteAt some point I'll have to get my mitts on a kindle.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy, i never believe i will be this happy again in life, I was working as an air-hoster ( cabby crew ) for 3years but early this year, i loose my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV), I never felt sick or have any symptom, till all workers were ask to bring their doctors report, that was how i got tested and i found out that am HSV positive that make me loose my job, because it was consider as an STD and is incurable disease, i was so depress was thinking of committing suicide, till i explain to a friend of mine, who always said to me a problem share is a problem solved, that was how she directed me to Dr Isibor, that was how i contacted him and get the medication from this doctor and i got cured for real, I just went back to my work and they also carry out the test to be real sure and i was negative.
