I did some research on both Kindle and Nook when I got my taxes this yr, and it seems that Kindle is bound to Amazon books alone, whereas Nook supports more formats. Kindle does not have an expansion slot, Nook does. Kindle now boasts 3G and wifi. Nook had it last year. I hear Kindle lowered their prices, so did Nook, and with all the advantages Nook has over Kindle, some of which I listed, some I did not, Nook is still the better value, even if Nook did not lower its prices. I also bought a 2 yr warranty so if anything goes wrong, I am covered.

Kindle? Yawn. Sony? only if you aren't an avid reader (Sony only holds up to 300 books for about the same price).

Just my humble opinion.]]>Aug 11th 2010 5:02AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/09/how-e-ink-makes-e-reading-a-pleasurable-experience/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/09/how-e-ink-makes-e-reading-a-pleasurable-experience/Aug 15th 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/09/how-e-ink-makes-e-reading-a-pleasurable-experience/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/09/how-e-ink-makes-e-reading-a-pleasurable-experience/

The shift to electronic reading is beginning; it may take a generation to spread to the whole population, and some people will never read ebooks, but it has a bright future (no pun intended!). The transition from horsback to autos took decades; this will also take a number of years, but it is not the destruction of the book, but it is a shift to a new way of reading those books.

I got it for about the same price if not cheaper than the Nook (Bed, Bath, and Beyond of all places!), but the price wasn't what sold me - it was the Color feature. If I'm going to buy eBooks that have any knid of picture/illustration in it (think crafts, or cooking, etc.) or eMags (of any genre) then I want to see the pictures in COLOR! Otherwise, why bother?

True, the battery doesn't last as long, but for such a multi-use product, I'm willing to sacrifice.]]>Aug 15th 2010 1:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/08/09/how-e-ink-makes-e-reading-a-pleasurable-experience/http://www.switched.com/2010/08/09/how-e-ink-makes-e-reading-a-pleasurable-experience/But I don't see a thing about some people's use (if you're guilty, blush) of extremely thin faced, sans serif type.
You know, the stuff that gets harder to read as you proceed?
The stuff that anyone over 30 clicks out of before they've finished the article?
The type faces that make real typographers wince when they see them in use?
Oh, my. Look what I've been typing in.
My apologies to anyone viewing this.]]>Aug 15th 2010 4:15PM
