One question: (for any Kindle user) Gher Send a noteboard - 08/10/2010 10:19:08 PM
In everyday use, how big of a deal is it that Kindles don't support ePub or other formats? And with the Amazon DRM, is there an easy way to recover books you've purchased if anything goes wrong?


I see a lot of issues raised in articles I read comparing ebook-readers, but I'm not sure how much they actually matter in daily use.


Oh, and just to make my subject line a complete lie, one more question: Is the physical keyboard a big deal? Good? Bad? Meh?

Camilla, you're a great lady, but you're almost a walking parody sometimes. LiterateDog - 08/10/2010 11:07:04 PM 1009 Views

I'm not going to make the obvious comments in response to the phrase "native bush". Tom - 10/10/2010 05:40:26 AM 769 Views

You can't read on an iPad any more than you can read on a laptop. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/10/2010 09:19:22 PM 358 Views
That is very, very true. Chas - 09/10/2010 11:48:01 PM 820 Views

i think his point was that it's hard on the eyes. LadyLorraine - 10/10/2010 06:47:19 PM 795 Views
Why buy an iPad when you already have a laptop? *NM* Chas - 10/10/2010 07:29:06 PM 392 Views
Because I have a few plans for it in the classroom Larry - 10/10/2010 07:56:32 PM 807 Views
