Re: I've worked out the one feature that will make an Ebook reader appealing. dacole Send a noteboard - 27/07/2010 06:31:25 PM
Um its electronic water vs electricity always a bad idea...todays lesson is brought to you by the number 5 and the letter B.


and by that I mean the one feature that would make me buy one this week instead of next week.

What I'd like to see is one that was waterproof.

This way I could read not just in the bath but also in the shower (not to forget in the spa, pool or floating on the lake when on holidays.)

+1. That's the only way it could have a usability advantage over books. *NM* Tim - 27/07/2010 11:54:38 AM 363 Views
Just make sure it floats as well. Fishing it from the bottom of the lake would be a challenge. *NM* Avendesora - 27/07/2010 12:26:06 PM 319 Views
Floats and a wrist strap maybe. *NM* Mix - 27/07/2010 02:23:39 PM 355 Views
What makes it appealing is that you can bring many books in one device and Helene - 27/07/2010 12:27:06 PM 761 Views

I was once completely against the notion of e-readers. I like the feel of books Helene - 27/07/2010 06:21:05 PM 620 Views
Put it in two opposite facing zip-loc sandwich bags. Aemon - 27/07/2010 12:44:23 PM 683 Views
Not sure if I'd trust a $0.02 plastic bag.to protect a $199 (AUD) toy. Mix - 27/07/2010 02:28:55 PM 722 Views
That's actually what I do with my iphone when I'm on the boat. Avendesora - 27/07/2010 03:10:33 PM 759 Views
you could even attach a 3rd one, put a hole in it and attach some string and a band to it LadyLorraine - 27/07/2010 04:21:17 PM 694 Views
I'll just put a beacon in the 3rd bag so the coast guard could locate my phone. *NM* Avendesora - 27/07/2010 05:18:26 PM 316 Views
but I somehow doubt they'll do it for free LadyLorraine - 27/07/2010 07:51:57 PM 744 Views
I can see your point, but there's very little risk. Aemon - 27/07/2010 08:27:40 PM 654 Views

For me it would be a "Convert to Movie" button. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 27/07/2010 10:35:22 PM 325 Views
