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. - 23/06/2011 06:29:52 AM 763 Views

Nook Color - 23/06/2011 07:06:35 AM 901 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 405 Views
I am very interested in this one - 23/06/2011 02:02:44 PM 829 Views

It's awesome. I rarely use the physical buttons. - 24/06/2011 04:35:36 PM 720 Views

Yeah, but the Amazon ebooks themselves have terrible DRM. *NM* - 23/06/2011 04:33:56 PM 403 Views
but is the advantage of the Kindle? - 23/06/2011 04:33:58 PM 775 Views

I would guess mechanics - 23/06/2011 01:56:11 PM 801 Views
They have color e-ink, it is just expensive - 23/06/2011 02:29:45 PM 896 Views
Yeah, it's depressing. - 23/06/2011 03:36:02 PM 693 Views

Paper, because there are some things that outweigh convenience. *NM* - 23/06/2011 03:55:06 PM 385 Views
Like nostalgic adherence to needlessly outdated media! Mmm... papyrus scrolls. *NM* - 23/06/2011 04:37:08 PM 377 Views
Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. - 23/06/2011 05:48:27 PM 815 Views

Oh, definitely. - 24/06/2011 03:02:51 PM 848 Views
You did say you knew they were convienent - 25/06/2011 02:21:18 AM 906 Views
What a snobby and pretentious comment. Thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation. *NM* - 24/06/2011 07:50:55 AM 382 Views
This, coming from someone who posts primarily to antagonize the member Republicans? *NM* - 24/06/2011 02:17:12 PM 384 Views
Conspiracy much? I hardly do that. *NM* - 26/06/2011 06:29:28 AM 382 Views
Actually, his comment makes sense. - 29/06/2011 07:26:29 PM 770 Views
I'm sorry, but it does not make sense. - 30/06/2011 02:02:14 AM 747 Views
Yes, you are correct. - 02/07/2011 03:34:34 AM 826 Views

Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? - 24/06/2011 11:46:43 AM 741 Views
it's a never ending cycle of irrelevancy O.O - 24/06/2011 11:53:54 AM 646 Views
Re: Doesn't the same go for your replies to her and Macharius as well? - 25/06/2011 01:51:04 AM 700 Views
