You know, I was thinking about e-readers and all the extra features that everyone loves... Avendesora Send a noteboard - 03/02/2011 08:22:06 PM
I'm shopping for an e-reader for my upcoming birthday, but I just can't make up my mind.

Happy Birthday! :party:

I am older. I would actually prefer something that most people don't want in an ereader. I would rather have NO WIRELESS. I have an iphone and a laptop. The only time I read is when I'm at home or when traveling.

For me as a parent this is what I need to know:

Do they make a color e-reader (I'm thinking of illustrations in children's books) that also plays DVD's and has video games? If so, that would making packing the car for a road trip a hell of a lot easier. :P

I actually love my bookcase for cherished books, and I don't cherish everything I read. For me, books are like movies. I only own the ones I REALLY REALLY like.

edit: When the product is being used as a portable DVD player, it needs to have one of those little straps that lets you hook it around a head rest. That should be included. ;)
*MySmiley*

I believe all news and research that supports my opinion, and dismiss the rest as conspiracy and lies.

If you want books from the library then the nook is a lock random thoughts - 31/01/2011 08:28:55 PM 780 Views

If you won't strip DRM, for whatever odd reason, get a Nook. Ghavrel - 31/01/2011 08:35:26 PM 733 Views
Books bought from Barnes and Noble do have DRM. everynametaken - 01/02/2011 01:39:54 AM 1052 Views
I spoke a little too soon on Google usage on the Nook, everynametaken - 01/02/2011 02:13:56 AM 771 Views

Has the software improved any? Ghavrel - 01/02/2011 05:40:03 AM 804 Views
No. Gher - 01/02/2011 06:52:52 PM 918 Views
you don't need batteries with real books *NM* Yunalesca - 01/02/2011 10:50:30 PM 448 Views
And you don't need bookshelves with ereaders. Ghavrel - 01/02/2011 11:06:39 PM 735 Views
Which is more irritating, bookshelves taking up space or running out of batteries while reading? Bergioyn - 02/02/2011 10:57:50 PM 812 Views

I was sure that the best I could ever do was tolerate ereaders. Gher - 03/02/2011 07:10:55 PM 950 Views
This is why I bought one... Deadsy - 04/02/2011 12:55:22 AM 846 Views
Yes. It's invaluable for a college student. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/02/2011 08:42:19 AM 365 Views
So you haven't used one, is what you're saying. Ghavrel - 04/02/2011 08:39:11 AM 999 Views
I'll have think about it then. *NM* Bergioyn - 06/02/2011 09:01:42 AM 458 Views
