E-Reader
I am in the process of buying an e-reader. I am tossing between the Amazon Kindle WI-FI and the B& N nook Color. I know a few of you own an Ipad, but at the moment I am not intersted in buying one. I do a lot of reading and I am gravitating toward the Kindle. I was in Best Buy earlier and the salesperson said that the Amazon Kindle is the most popular seller. Does anyone own either one ? if so let me know what you like about yours..

My daughter has a Kindle and she loves it. I have the Kindle reader on my iPad and I like the app alot. I think Kindle has been around the longest, and so it probably has most of the bugs worked out. I don't know too much more than that though.

Our daughter, Melissa, has a Kindle and loves it!! It is the only one with a liquid display that looks like print on paper and doesn't emit light, so it's much easier on your eyes, especially if you read a lot. It's not in color, but if you want it purely for reading, that should be fine.

I just bought the Kindle. I have an IPad, but you really cannot read in the bright sunlight. I also am not comfortable bringing such an expensive item to the pool. The Kindle is down to $114 on Amazon. With tax, etc., it came to $123, which is quite a good price.
I didn't look at any of the other brands. Everyone I know who has a Kindle, is a very happy with it, so I figured, why stress about it, especially at such a good price.

Thanks for input ladies.. Judy I just ordered the Kindle Wi-Fi I brought the $139 plus free shipping from Amazon , I was going to buy the kindle you brought for $114 but was told that you get pop ups from different sponsors. Judy did you get yours yet? if so is it user friendly? I hear that you can download free books also. A friend of mine told me to buy the Marware book cover she has the kindle also and said that she had brought the kindle cover but was having problems with the device.. Strange... |

Darn! I would have bought the $139 Kindle! I haven't done anything but plug it in. I might explore it today. I'll let you know. I have to check on the Marware cover too because it doesn't come with one. Why doesn't your friend return hers? They will exchange it for her, hopefully. This is why I bought it from Amazon., They usually stand behind their stuff.
