BareFootScholar Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Does anyone her use any sort of E-Reader? What would you recommend? I've had my eye on the Nook Color... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannywils Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I use the Kindle 3 and would not part with it for the world. I have always been an avid reader, but my house was just too full of books. I give them away as fast as I can, but they were beginning to take over.... The Kindle works for me. I just want to read the books. I can change type face and size, can download easily, and have a huge library from which to choose, including thousands of free books. There are many other features, such as saving your place, underlining, making notes, etc. It will also read to you if that is a feature you enjoy. Not for me though. I don't believe they have a color version; but I don't particulary need that feature. Hope this was helpful. :turned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan3345 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I use a kindle 3 also. Very nice, easy to use, screen looks amazing. People can't believe its a screen. Mine doesn't have the 3g but wifi is good enough. You really can't go wrong with a kindle. The nook is nice but because the screen is LCD and colored the battery last for about ten hours while the kindle lasts for thirty days. No joke.

Halororor Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I've heard wonderful things about the Kindle. Also considering getting one for myself sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3G one costs a bit more. And you are right about the screen. I forgot to mention it. There is no glare or anything like that. And battery life is great too! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavageArtistry Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm weird. I use a Nokia smart phone with an e-pub application and then download free books (they're all past copyright and legal) to its memory. Of course we had to add an extra bit of memory to the phone but it works for me. Anyway, I only use it when I'm away from my computer for an extended amount of time.
