Scandanavian War Machine:
it's the best thing i've ever owned

i was an e-reader detractor too, until i actually got one


i mean, i was reading Anna Karenina on my lunch break, decided that I hated these aristocratic assholes and that I didn't want to read about them anymore for the time being, so I turned on my free 3G wireless internet and bought Hyperion, right there in the parking lot of my favorite sandwich shop. It was downloaded in less than a minute and I was good to go.

it's seriously the best. And it has Scrabble! SCRABBLE  :psyduck:

It really is hard to explain why e-readers are amazing unless you've used one in your own personal time.

But they are.

Elysiana:
Ryan adores his Nook Color. We're probably going to attempt rooting it this weekend, and then he will drool on it and it will have to be toweled down daily.

They're just so handy though! I am a voracious reader and my home library was starting to get unwieldy. I still buy some books, especially ones that I know I will want to lend to friends, but I can put thousands on the Nook and still carry it in my purse. The Kindle is easier on the eyes, but I wouldn't give up the Nook because of all the options it has. I love being able to put multiple bookmarks in on multiple books - we can each be reading a book on there and not worry about losing the page - and I especially love having a dictionary and Wikipedia handy.

nekowafer:
The original Nook is pretty darn awesome as well.

Joseph:
If we want to continue this we should probably just start another thread. No need to drag this one off topic when it's pretty fruitful as is.

I'll just say though, that I have used them on my own time, understand the issue of convenience (Very well, in fact; my only regret about my bookshelves and the books on them is how difficult it makes it for me to move!), but am absolutely certain that they just aren't for me.
