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 903 Views

Nook Color MightyYT - 23/06/2011 07:06:35 AM 1094 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 492 Views
I am very interested in this one random thoughts - 23/06/2011 02:02:44 PM 1007 Views
I used the one at Barnes and Noble, yeah. Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:32:19 PM 970 Views
It's awesome. I rarely use the physical buttons. Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:35:36 PM 925 Views

Yeah, but the Amazon ebooks themselves have terrible DRM. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:33:56 PM 492 Views
but is the advantage of the Kindle? random thoughts - 23/06/2011 04:33:58 PM 971 Views

color e-ink would be awesome LadyLorraine - 23/06/2011 01:10:32 PM 908 Views
I would guess mechanics random thoughts - 23/06/2011 01:56:11 PM 993 Views
They have color e-ink, it is just expensive Roland00 - 23/06/2011 02:29:45 PM 1101 Views
Yeah, it's depressing. beetnemesis - 23/06/2011 03:36:02 PM 897 Views

Paper, because there are some things that outweigh convenience. *NM* Macharius - 23/06/2011 03:55:06 PM 485 Views
Like nostalgic adherence to needlessly outdated media! Mmm... papyrus scrolls. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:37:08 PM 467 Views
Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. Macharius - 23/06/2011 05:48:27 PM 1009 Views
+1 *NM* Yunalesca - 23/06/2011 06:19:34 PM 474 Views

Oh, definitely. Macharius - 24/06/2011 03:02:51 PM 1046 Views
You did say you knew they were convienent LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 02:21:18 AM 1108 Views
What a snobby and pretentious comment. Thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:50:55 AM 482 Views
This, coming from someone who posts primarily to antagonize the member Republicans? *NM* Macharius - 24/06/2011 02:17:12 PM 483 Views
Conspiracy much? I hardly do that. *NM* everynametaken - 26/06/2011 06:29:28 AM 481 Views
Actually, his comment makes sense. Amyrlin - 29/06/2011 07:26:29 PM 950 Views
I'm sorry, but it does not make sense. LadyLorraine - 30/06/2011 02:02:14 AM 945 Views
Yes, you are correct. everynametaken - 02/07/2011 03:34:34 AM 1030 Views

I don't think it's accurate to say real books will never be obsolete. Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 03:01:16 AM 865 Views
Why did you even respond in this post? You contributed nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:53:00 AM 417 Views
Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? snoopcester - 24/06/2011 11:46:43 AM 961 Views
it's a never ending cycle of irrelevancy O.O LadyLorraine - 24/06/2011 11:53:54 AM 851 Views

Have you used an ereader for an extended period of time? *NM* Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 03:01:47 AM 443 Views

I chose Nook. everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:41:11 AM 1169 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 461 Views
Probably a good call- Borders has been circling the drain for a while *NM* beetnemesis - 29/06/2011 01:09:37 PM 448 Views
