if it aint broke don't fix it. proper books don't need charging, won't break if you accidentally drop them and they smell lovely. you really wanna miss out on that lovely papery glue smell just cause you can download a book?


The only argument that has swayed me towards trying a Kindle or Nook is that they are light weight. One of my hands is messed up so a heavy book really can make it hurt if I hold it wrong or read for too long. But I just don't think that I could give up my books. I love the smell, the feel, the sense of ownership and that it is always there for me. Kindle and Nook may quickly be obsolete but my real books will never be obsolete.

Kindle or Nook and why? *NM* Francie - 23/06/2011 04:40:53 AM 785 Views

Nook Color MightyYT - 23/06/2011 07:06:35 AM 881 Views
Nook e-ink touchscreen. Doesn't have the idiocy of the Amazon DRM, and it's conveniently shaped. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 07:27:20 AM 400 Views
I am very interested in this one random thoughts - 23/06/2011 02:02:44 PM 813 Views
I used the one at Barnes and Noble, yeah. Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:32:19 PM 763 Views
It's awesome. I rarely use the physical buttons. Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:35:36 PM 711 Views

Yeah, but the Amazon ebooks themselves have terrible DRM. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:33:56 PM 400 Views
but is the advantage of the Kindle? random thoughts - 23/06/2011 04:33:58 PM 763 Views

color e-ink would be awesome LadyLorraine - 23/06/2011 01:10:32 PM 695 Views
I would guess mechanics random thoughts - 23/06/2011 01:56:11 PM 793 Views
They have color e-ink, it is just expensive Roland00 - 23/06/2011 02:29:45 PM 880 Views
Yeah, it's depressing. beetnemesis - 23/06/2011 03:36:02 PM 682 Views

Paper, because there are some things that outweigh convenience. *NM* Macharius - 23/06/2011 03:55:06 PM 381 Views
Like nostalgic adherence to needlessly outdated media! Mmm... papyrus scrolls. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:37:08 PM 374 Views
Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. Macharius - 23/06/2011 05:48:27 PM 797 Views
+1 *NM* Yunalesca - 23/06/2011 06:19:34 PM 379 Views

Oh, definitely. Macharius - 24/06/2011 03:02:51 PM 840 Views
You did say you knew they were convienent LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 02:21:18 AM 894 Views
What a snobby and pretentious comment. Thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:50:55 AM 377 Views
This, coming from someone who posts primarily to antagonize the member Republicans? *NM* Macharius - 24/06/2011 02:17:12 PM 377 Views
Conspiracy much? I hardly do that. *NM* everynametaken - 26/06/2011 06:29:28 AM 377 Views
Actually, his comment makes sense. Amyrlin - 29/06/2011 07:26:29 PM 756 Views
I'm sorry, but it does not make sense. LadyLorraine - 30/06/2011 02:02:14 AM 739 Views
Yes, you are correct. everynametaken - 02/07/2011 03:34:34 AM 815 Views

I don't think it's accurate to say real books will never be obsolete. Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 03:01:16 AM 647 Views
Why did you even respond in this post? You contributed nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:53:00 AM 326 Views
Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? snoopcester - 24/06/2011 11:46:43 AM 724 Views
it's a never ending cycle of irrelevancy O.O LadyLorraine - 24/06/2011 11:53:54 AM 634 Views

what are your experiences that make you think so? *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 02:27:23 AM 365 Views
My goodness... Amyrlin - 29/06/2011 07:29:19 PM 787 Views

Have you used an ereader for an extended period of time? *NM* Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 03:01:47 AM 342 Views
no, and i don't want too either Yunalesca - 25/06/2011 11:56:12 AM 661 Views

It is. They literally fixed EVERYTHING I had issues with in the 1st one. Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:13:52 PM 649 Views
I chose Nook. everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:41:11 AM 967 Views
Amazon locking you into their format was one of the things that pushed me to the NOOK *NM* Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:30:23 PM 357 Views
Probably a good call- Borders has been circling the drain for a while *NM* beetnemesis - 29/06/2011 01:09:37 PM 353 Views
