I used to be like that... Wulf`gar Send a noteboard - 24/06/2011 04:33:04 PM
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?


I was wrong. The biggest thing to me is that I've more than run out of room to store all these paper books. E-readers are such a nice alternative to moving around heavy boxes of books and taking up entire walls with shelving units. Also, mine is much lighter and slimmer to carry around than any paperback I know of.

Honestly, people said the same thing about CDs 10 years ago. Now, I don't ever buy physical CDs I just don't see the point.

Kindle or Nook and why? *NM* Francie - 23/06/2011 04:40:53 AM 935 Views

Nook Color MightyYT - 23/06/2011 07:06:35 AM 1137 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 513 Views
I am very interested in this one random thoughts - 23/06/2011 02:02:44 PM 1037 Views
I used the one at Barnes and Noble, yeah. Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:32:19 PM 1004 Views
It's awesome. I rarely use the physical buttons. Wulf`gar - 24/06/2011 04:35:36 PM 959 Views

Yeah, but the Amazon ebooks themselves have terrible DRM. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:33:56 PM 511 Views
but is the advantage of the Kindle? random thoughts - 23/06/2011 04:33:58 PM 1007 Views

color e-ink would be awesome LadyLorraine - 23/06/2011 01:10:32 PM 943 Views
I would guess mechanics random thoughts - 23/06/2011 01:56:11 PM 1028 Views
They have color e-ink, it is just expensive Roland00 - 23/06/2011 02:29:45 PM 1138 Views

Paper, because there are some things that outweigh convenience. *NM* Macharius - 23/06/2011 03:55:06 PM 507 Views
Like nostalgic adherence to needlessly outdated media! Mmm... papyrus scrolls. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/06/2011 04:37:08 PM 487 Views
Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. Macharius - 23/06/2011 05:48:27 PM 1042 Views

You did say you knew they were convienent LadyLorraine - 25/06/2011 02:21:18 AM 1151 Views
What a snobby and pretentious comment. Thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:50:55 AM 504 Views
This, coming from someone who posts primarily to antagonize the member Republicans? *NM* Macharius - 24/06/2011 02:17:12 PM 505 Views
Conspiracy much? I hardly do that. *NM* everynametaken - 26/06/2011 06:29:28 AM 501 Views
Actually, his comment makes sense. Amyrlin - 29/06/2011 07:26:29 PM 984 Views
I'm sorry, but it does not make sense. LadyLorraine - 30/06/2011 02:02:14 AM 978 Views
Yes, you are correct. everynametaken - 02/07/2011 03:34:34 AM 1069 Views

I don't think it's accurate to say real books will never be obsolete. Ghavrel - 25/06/2011 03:01:16 AM 903 Views
Why did you even respond in this post? You contributed nothing to the conversation. *NM* everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:53:00 AM 437 Views
Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? snoopcester - 24/06/2011 11:46:43 AM 999 Views
it's a never ending cycle of irrelevancy O.O LadyLorraine - 24/06/2011 11:53:54 AM 886 Views

I chose Nook. everynametaken - 24/06/2011 07:41:11 AM 1203 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 487 Views
Probably a good call- Borders has been circling the drain for a while *NM* beetnemesis - 29/06/2011 01:09:37 PM 476 Views
