It's not gonna reach mass market appeal they way it is now, it's just for a niche market which you guys are apart of.

 

She lost it

 

Sucks. I'm afraid of that happening. I got a case for it and so there is a little more to it.

 

damn suckage dude...

 

I dont know which I want to feel.

 

Bump, because I'm considering getting the wife one for her birthday/Christmas. Figure if I start researching now, I might be able to figure out which one I want to get her.

And hopefully the price will go down.

 

I like my sony, but I have the smallest one. The upscale versions are much nicer from what I read

PS Ive read like 15 books so far in the last 5 months, which is about 15 more than Ive read in the last 4 years

 

FWIW seems the folks on the train all have the smaller sized Kindle. I did see one gal with the bigger one but it looked too big. I saw a couple of iPads the first week the 3G came out but haven't since. Where did they go?

 

After about a whole ten minutes, the Nook looks like it's leading the pack. It is a bit more expensive, though. I think the Kindle is out.

 

You should head to a B&N and try one out. I've read they are painfully slow.

 

I guess I shouldn't say anything is ruled out. But my wife isn't someone who is going to download a newspaper or buy brand new books. She just likes to read what she can find at the library, and in retrospect, this may not be for her if she can't get free titles. Which is where the epub format plays a huge role.

 

Wife likes her 2nd Kindle....

 

Bet you she will LOVE her third one


I am liking the Kindle App for the iPad. Looks nice and easy to get a lot of free titles.

 

gutenberg.org is an awesome website to look up free ebooks

 

Sony Reader can download books from the public library, a BIG plus IMO.

 

The Sony Reader Touch is down to $200. Deal?

 

kindle

 

Do not want.

 

From what I've read out of them all, Sony is probably the last one I'd get...

 

my shit froze solid two weeks ago. wont reset or nothing. that shit is D-E-D dead.

 

If I read, I would get the Nook..

 

Time for me to start researching these. Might get the wife one for our anniversary. She's a huge book fan and this thing may keep our office and living room from becoming on giant used book store. She refuses to get rid of books she's read

 

I love reading...but I never have time.


I'd either get the nook or kindle if I got one.

 

But for me, there's something about going through the pages on a real book that's satisfying.

 

It seems like all of them have some severe flaws.

 

Have had the Nook in our household since May 1st and don't have any complaints at all. Able to view the screen in direct sunlight with no issues at all.

The Ipad we recently purchased is not suitable at all for outdoor use, IMO.

YMMV

 

Wife is going on her 3rd Kindle, getting shipped. The USB adapter input broke (much like what happened 3 times on my Mophie case). Im starting to think that miniusb is a major fail.

 

Doesn't every man want a Nook eBook?

 

The warranty doesn't cover that?

 

It does, getting a new free one..

 

My wife wants one too. We're leaning towards the Nook because it's only $150 for Wifi only as the extra $50 for 3G might not be of use to her since she mostly reads books so no d/ling needed. Plus she knocks out books fast so the whole book sharing thing or whatever from B&N is appealing.

FYI, I did see that Amazon was selling refurbed Kindles for $110 shipped a week ago.

I personally am happy with the iBook reader on my iPhone but I'm not a big reader.

 

After I read you can convert the epub library files to Amazon's format, I'm leaning strongly toward the Kindle.

Tried to get in on the refurb train, but I got left at the station.

 

So the new Kindles have been announced. The wifi only model at $139 is tempting. For those of you that have one is the 3G needed? Does anyone use the newspaper subscriptions? If I want to read the "paper" on the train do I need the 3G or can I easily grab it via wifi before I leave the house? Is it easy to load a standard PDF onto these things from a PC/mac?

 

Eh I thought about it and I might as well get the 3G since getting the thing on the work wifi is probably close to 0. Sucks that I have to wait a month. I miss my old job because I used to control the wifi and had a WLAN for these types of toys.

 

Strongly considering the Kindle 3 at that price point. Only thing that scares me is how much they break.

 

Now that the pricing is aobut the same for the Wifi only, which has the advantage for moar books? Doesn't the nook allow borrowing books for a week? My wife reads books in days.

 

After reading a bit more about Kindle I don't think I need the 3G. If I get a newspaper subscription it will get delivered to the Kindle automagically before the print version is on newsstands. So as of right now I am liking the $139 one.

 

I feel ebook readers would only be worth it if you get free books. *cough cough*

What are some common file types that can be read? Can most read .txt/.rtf/.pdf or is it mostly proprietary nonsense?

 

Havent used mine in a few weeks but next week Ill be putting a few new books on and enjoying.

 

Kindle can import pdf and there is plenty of free stuff.
