just get a book *NM* Yunalesca Send a noteboard - 31/01/2011 08:22:53 PM
I'm shopping for an e-reader for my upcoming birthday, but I just can't make up my mind.

The Kindle seems like a better piece of equipment overall - longer battery charge, slightly faster response, slightly smaller and lighter.

But, with the DRM issues, I'm really leaning towards a Nook. I like borrowing books from my local library, and it sounds like the Kindle format doesn't allow for that. Also, it looks like you can only get books from Amazon with the Kindle, while the Nook allows you to get books from just about anywhere, in any format.

Any advice?

If you want books from the library then the nook is a lock random thoughts - 31/01/2011 08:28:55 PM 1177 Views
Just make sure you look at your library's Online selection first. everynametaken - 01/02/2011 01:43:49 AM 1329 Views

If you won't strip DRM, for whatever odd reason, get a Nook. Ghavrel - 31/01/2011 08:35:26 PM 1103 Views
Books bought from Barnes and Noble do have DRM. everynametaken - 01/02/2011 01:39:54 AM 1449 Views

you don't need batteries with real books *NM* Yunalesca - 01/02/2011 10:50:30 PM 672 Views
And you don't need bookshelves with ereaders. Ghavrel - 01/02/2011 11:06:39 PM 1135 Views
Which is more irritating, bookshelves taking up space or running out of batteries while reading? Bergioyn - 02/02/2011 10:57:50 PM 1205 Views

I was sure that the best I could ever do was tolerate ereaders. Gher - 03/02/2011 07:10:55 PM 1331 Views

So you haven't used one, is what you're saying. Ghavrel - 04/02/2011 08:39:11 AM 1387 Views
I'll have think about it then. *NM* Bergioyn - 06/02/2011 09:01:42 AM 684 Views
