I know that quite a few of my friends are full of opinions, and I hope that they chime in!!!
I love technology, and usually consider myself a technologically savvy person, and know what I want, but I am so torn on the iPad, Kindle, Nook war.

I know I want an e-reader, just not sure which one. iPad is twice the price of the Kindle and Nook, and I'm a mac girl through and through. But my rationalization is why would I need and iPad when I practically carry my MBP (MacBookPro) with me everywhere? So that leaves me leaning towards the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes and Noble Nook.
Kindle is coming out with the Kindle Fire, which is going to have all the fun web browser capabilities and the color touch screen... But I think I like the "paper-like" reading screen of the B&W versions... But then I'd need a reading light to read in the not-so-light areas like bed, or in the car on the way to OBX in the evenings... Anyone with either and want to share their thoughts and recommendations?
XOXO-
Go with a Kindle - either the regular or the Fire. You can't go wrong. I've had a Kindle for several years and LOVE reading on it. I have a thin, bendable clip-on booklight for it if it's dark, and it works great and weighs nothing. I just tuck it in the case and I'm good to go. It's very easy on the eyes, and I love mine.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I am tempted by the Kindle Fire. I like the versatility of it, and think I will probably use it a lot. So I guess you need to think about how/where you'd use whatever you buy and choose between the two. You can't beat the price, and in terms of performance I've been very happy with my Kindle.
I have the Nook Color which has web browser capabilities (via WiFi) and a color touch screen. I haven't used it to its capacity yet, but I like it so far. Seems like the new Kindle will be similar in comparison.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gone anything. I'm still reading books :-o Can't wait to see what you choose!
ReplyDeleteI'm asking my hubs for an e-reader for Christmas so it's interesting reading how others feel about the kindle vs. The nook. Will have to check and see if any other opinions come in!
