This is a really good forum for eBook readers. There are separate forums for each of the vendors. Plus, they have a nice collection of eBooks that people have uploaded and are available for free. Between this site and the Google domain, the majority of my books were free.
Have fun!
I have downloaded the free app from Amazon to my iPhone, and my kindle sits collecting dust.
Reading on the iPhone is better for me. I can read in the dark at night, not disturbing my husband. I can read in the checkout line at the supermarket, while waiting the Docs, etc.
Hardcover books for “keepers”, and the iPhone for escapist reading. Love the change, and the ease of finding the exact “penny terrible” that catches my interest.
Read through the entire Stephanie Plum series, and am now working my way through the Jack Reacher series. We live in a rural area, and the nearest bookstore is over an hour away. eReader and Amazon are wonderful.
Couple more thing I love about eBook readers:
* can read outside in the sun
* not backlit so no eyestrain
* battery lasts a long time between charges
* uses regular book lights for night reading
* Kindle and Nook don’t require a computer which is great for some users
* made a nice retirement present for my brother
* bookmarks, multiple text sizes
but I’m not selling or trying to convince - just a happy customer.
Thanks. We will get her hooked up.
