Exactly. *NM* everynametaken Send a noteboard - 02/07/2011 03:36:18 AM
...but, this isn't a thread asking about whether to get an eReader. This is a specific thread weighing the pros and cons of two very similar eReaders. So, Yunalesca's "stick with books" mentality is not only valueless here, but also likely trollbait or him taking the opportunity to just publicly hate on something he doesn't regard too highly. I think everynametaken's comment here (and above) is justified (although, I probably wouldn't have fed the troll).

I used to hate on eReaders and eBooks as well, but I have since become a convert for various reasons (not the least of which is that I've simply run out of space to store all these paper books that I own, read, and want to own). It's just not very nice to come to a thread asking for advice on a particular topic just to say, "both answers are wrong." Especially when it's something so subjective.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

Kindle or Nook and why? *NM* - 23/06/2011 04:40:53 AM 784 Views
Kindle. - 23/06/2011 06:29:52 AM 748 Views

Nook Color - 23/06/2011 07:06:35 AM 880 Views
Nook e-ink touchscreen. Doesn't have the idiocy of the Amazon DRM, and it's conveniently shaped. *NM* - 23/06/2011 07:27:20 AM 399 Views
I am very interested in this one - 23/06/2011 02:02:44 PM 812 Views

It's awesome. I rarely use the physical buttons. - 24/06/2011 04:35:36 PM 710 Views

Yeah, but the Amazon ebooks themselves have terrible DRM. *NM* - 23/06/2011 04:33:56 PM 399 Views
but is the advantage of the Kindle? - 23/06/2011 04:33:58 PM 763 Views

I would guess mechanics - 23/06/2011 01:56:11 PM 792 Views
They have color e-ink, it is just expensive - 23/06/2011 02:29:45 PM 879 Views
Yeah, it's depressing. - 23/06/2011 03:36:02 PM 681 Views

Paper, because there are some things that outweigh convenience. *NM* - 23/06/2011 03:55:06 PM 380 Views
Like nostalgic adherence to needlessly outdated media! Mmm... papyrus scrolls. *NM* - 23/06/2011 04:37:08 PM 374 Views
Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. - 23/06/2011 05:48:27 PM 797 Views

Oh, definitely. - 24/06/2011 03:02:51 PM 839 Views
You did say you knew they were convienent - 25/06/2011 02:21:18 AM 893 Views
What a snobby and pretentious comment. Thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation. *NM* - 24/06/2011 07:50:55 AM 377 Views
This, coming from someone who posts primarily to antagonize the member Republicans? *NM* - 24/06/2011 02:17:12 PM 376 Views
Conspiracy much? I hardly do that. *NM* - 26/06/2011 06:29:28 AM 376 Views
Actually, his comment makes sense. - 29/06/2011 07:26:29 PM 755 Views
I'm sorry, but it does not make sense. - 30/06/2011 02:02:14 AM 739 Views
Yes, you are correct. - 02/07/2011 03:34:34 AM 815 Views

Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? - 24/06/2011 11:46:43 AM 724 Views
it's a never ending cycle of irrelevancy O.O - 24/06/2011 11:53:54 AM 633 Views
Re: Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? - 25/06/2011 01:51:04 AM 685 Views
