Re: Bookshelves taking up space. Bergioyn Send a noteboard - 03/02/2011 07:45:34 AM
Because "it runs out of batteries" is quite possibly the worst reason I've seen to dislike ereaders.

Oh, that's not the only one. I get a headache if I read too long from a screen, the reader is not a book (and doesn't feel/look/smell like a one either), I usually only carry one, maximum two books with me at any given time, so carrying them isn't a problem. The choice of books is smaller in ebooks, and finally, I like real books.

If you want books from the library then the nook is a lock random thoughts - 31/01/2011 08:28:55 PM 1201 Views

If you won't strip DRM, for whatever odd reason, get a Nook. Ghavrel - 31/01/2011 08:35:26 PM 1126 Views
Books bought from Barnes and Noble do have DRM. everynametaken - 01/02/2011 01:39:54 AM 1472 Views

you don't need batteries with real books *NM* Yunalesca - 01/02/2011 10:50:30 PM 680 Views
And you don't need bookshelves with ereaders. Ghavrel - 01/02/2011 11:06:39 PM 1159 Views
Which is more irritating, bookshelves taking up space or running out of batteries while reading? Bergioyn - 02/02/2011 10:57:50 PM 1232 Views
