you don't need batteries with real books *NM* Yunalesca Send a noteboard - 01/02/2011 10:50:30 PM
Aemon told me to look at the Sony Readers. I know, it sounds crazy because they cost more and have no wireless. But my PRS 650 is incredible. I love it. The battery lasts forever, the touch screen means navigation is easy and the device isn't much bigger than the screen. The wireless really isn't an issue, I don't mind using a usb cable to load books, because I get books from a variety of places (Project Gutenberg, Google, Borders), not just the Sony store.

Before I really looked at the Sonys, I thought the same thing you did. The Kindle seemed like a better device but the Nook gave you more freedom and choices. Amazon's DRM wasn't what pushed me away from the Kindle, but the fact that they wouldn't let it use epubs did.

Honestly, take a look at the new Sonys. Or another if you wrote them off.

If you want books from the library then the nook is a lock random thoughts - 31/01/2011 08:28:55 PM 1321 Views
Just make sure you look at your library's Online selection first. everynametaken - 01/02/2011 01:43:49 AM 1483 Views

If you won't strip DRM, for whatever odd reason, get a Nook. Ghavrel - 31/01/2011 08:35:26 PM 1236 Views
Books bought from Barnes and Noble do have DRM. everynametaken - 01/02/2011 01:39:54 AM 1608 Views

And you don't need bookshelves with ereaders. Ghavrel - 01/02/2011 11:06:39 PM 1288 Views
Which is more irritating, bookshelves taking up space or running out of batteries while reading? Bergioyn - 02/02/2011 10:57:50 PM 1352 Views
