Re: It's always a tradeoff Avendesora Send a noteboard - 06/02/2011 12:32:37 AM
There are no e-readers that play DVDs (unless you count computers). An e-ink display takes about half a second to update, so watching video would be quite annoying anyway, as would playing video games. There are e-readers with other displays, but in that case you lose the paper-like quality of no backlighting and battery life drops to hours rather than days.


I was just being snarky with that line, but after I read the Ipad comment, I was wondering... what about reading apps for the ipad? I guess I'll have to go check it out. I don't know anyone with an ipad to compare things, though. I know, that sounds strange, but it's true.

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 772 Views

If you won't strip DRM, for whatever odd reason, get a Nook. Ghavrel - 31/01/2011 08:35:26 PM 723 Views
Books bought from Barnes and Noble do have DRM. everynametaken - 01/02/2011 01:39:54 AM 1044 Views

you don't need batteries with real books *NM* Yunalesca - 01/02/2011 10:50:30 PM 443 Views
And you don't need bookshelves with ereaders. Ghavrel - 01/02/2011 11:06:39 PM 726 Views
Which is more irritating, bookshelves taking up space or running out of batteries while reading? Bergioyn - 02/02/2011 10:57:50 PM 801 Views

So you haven't used one, is what you're saying. Ghavrel - 04/02/2011 08:39:11 AM 988 Views
I'll have think about it then. *NM* Bergioyn - 06/02/2011 09:01:42 AM 451 Views
