I wanted to start a new monthly chat, (once a month). So this month I have came up with a little problem and hope you can help. I wanted to see what you prefer in the Ereader line. I only buy books, but now that we have started the blog, I see there are so many authors that do ebooks etc. I have both of my computers overloaded with Sims games, so I can't download in mine. So what I thought I would do is see what you think I should get for my birthday. So me and hubby can get along:) because I will have to go to his computer to download.
I'm clueless in what to get, so please tell me what you prefer, so I can get the right one.
Thanks Laurie
I don't have an Ereader or anything, primarily because I prefer the feel of a book. But if you're going to get a Kindle or a Nook, I'd go with a Kindle now just because the Nook is a little more buggy from what I've heard.
ReplyDeleteI have a sony ereader but I do have to download to my computer to load the books onto my reader so probably kindle might be more what your looking for. Other than that I really love my ereader I have 100's of books on it, it fits in my purse, and doesn't bother my eyes at all.
ReplyDeleteI measured up the Kindle vs. the eReader and the eReader came up top. It supports all different kinds of file formats, so I can upload the PDF files from my Mac. The only trouble is that I need to be connected to my computer to load the books, like Tricia says, it might be a problem if you're unable to download. The Kindle allows you to download wirelessly, but I don't know what their support is for eBooks other than their own format.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a big eBook fan, but I must admit my eReader is fabulous and though it'll never replace my paperbacks it's a good addition. Especially when there are authors who work only with eBooks.
I still prefer print books, as I like to cuddle up with them in bed at night, on the beach, in the bath tub, etc. I also find them =easier= to read.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I have a Kindle for all of my e-books. I went with the Kindle because I didn't want to be bothered downloading novels to my computer and then transferring them to an e-reader. E-books downloaded to my computer tend to get lost! Seriously, I lose my own freakin' books on this computer!
I'm looking forward to the day (or year?) when we have an all-purpose e-reader with a lot more books offered in e-format.

Thanks Ladies, I was really thinking about the Kindle, just didnt want to pop that much with out knowing anything about them.
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to decide what choose also. I have heard you have more flexibility with sony e-reader, but it would be convenient to have the Kindle WI-FI that's for sure. So let me get my brain wrapped around this because I have been going back and forth since Christmas.
ReplyDelete*Kindle has WI-FI, but you are stuck with their formatting.
*Sony E-Reader has more formats, but no WI-FI.
Is that about it? Is the lack of formatting options that big of a deal with Kindle?
What I really want to know is if I buy a Kindle will I still be able to get my erotic books if I don't buy from Amazon? I've got to have access to my erotic authors. Some aren't widely published. Would that be a problem?
Kindle Vixen has an awesome comparison chart on eReaders: http://www.kindlevixen.com/archives/911
ReplyDeleteDefinitely check it out. For me, it's between the K2 and the Nook. Leaning more towards the K2.
