So you haven't used one, is what you're saying. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 04/02/2011 08:39:11 AM
E-ink displays are functionally equivalent to paper. You won't get a headache from reading them; they aren't backlit. You really ought to try one before you make up your mind, you know; what is the worst that can happen? It's not like they put mind control chips in the things. :P

Look, if you've tried one out for a while and it's not your thing, that's cool. But your reasons are the same ones I used before I used an ereader, so I'm suspicious of your familiarity with them.

A bit of anecdotal evidence: when I got my migraines, I couldn't use my computer at all. Even the screen dimmed to its lowest setting was way too bright for me. I got through them with my sony reader. Trust me on the headaches bit. ;)

If you want books from the library then the nook is a lock random thoughts - 31/01/2011 08:28:55 PM 1041 Views

If you won't strip DRM, for whatever odd reason, get a Nook. Ghavrel - 31/01/2011 08:35:26 PM 977 Views
Books bought from Barnes and Noble do have DRM. everynametaken - 01/02/2011 01:39:54 AM 1319 Views

you don't need batteries with real books *NM* Yunalesca - 01/02/2011 10:50:30 PM 605 Views
And you don't need bookshelves with ereaders. Ghavrel - 01/02/2011 11:06:39 PM 988 Views
Which is more irritating, bookshelves taking up space or running out of batteries while reading? Bergioyn - 02/02/2011 10:57:50 PM 1078 Views

I was sure that the best I could ever do was tolerate ereaders. Gher - 03/02/2011 07:10:55 PM 1201 Views
This is why I bought one... Deadsy - 04/02/2011 12:55:22 AM 1110 Views
