E readers...something I know nothing about. Dh bought his on a special deal, with advice from ds...who did not know how it worked...so dh flew by the seat of his pants and learned how to operate it. With me, the visual 'look' might not fit me right that I could see and read it with one eye.
And being old-fashioned, I like to 'hold' my book to read it...go back to it at will. Maybe I will hold out until they merge the cell phone with a e reader... |
My Kindle was only $79. It doesn't have internet (Jeanie I'm jealous, I would love to have the new Fire but I'd spend more time "surfing" and playing games than reading or sleeping). We have soooooo many books in our house, even had more shelves built, donate them to Humane Society Thrift Store, give them away. They're like zucchinis--they multiply all by themselves. That's why we both have Kindles now and the only thing on the coffee table is dust.

QuiltE...I have the kindle reader software on my iPad so that's what I read in. My DH got it for me last year for my bday. You might want to go to Amazon and download the software and try a book from the link Jan posted. It's not the same as a reader when you have it on a computer but you could see now it can be adjusted for your personal preferences. I love my iPad but it isn't compatible with acrobat software so there are some files on websites that I can't read.

Thanks Ladies ... you're all getting me thinking!
I can't say that I know anyone with an e-Reader so I'm going to have to see if I can find someone who does, just to satisfy my curiosity. Wish you could just borrow one, like taking a book out of the library! :) |

Interesting reading about the E-book and Kindle. I haven't posted pictures for quite awhile, so I'm way behind in reading the posts. [ATTACH=CONFIG]372542[/ATTACH]
