I have a Kindle 2 for over 3 years. It was either get something like that or buy more book shelves. I love my Kindle and it is almost always with me. I have downloaded close to 500 books and games on it; many of the books/games were free or $2.99 or less!

I've only had my kndle about a month but I love it. I used to frantically try to finish a book before it was due at the library and now it doesn't matter how long it takes to read it. I love to take it with me. I used to carry 5-6 books when I go to the beach now I can carry hundreds in my purse. Tnanks for the sites. Can you download just like Amazon or do you need the wire to plug into the computer? I'm still learning the fine points.

I have a NookColor. I love it! It is very user friendly. I like being able to see magazines in color. You can get a Certified Pre-owned one for $199 on the Barnes and Noble site. It has the same warrenty as a brand new. Hope this helps.

The library is 60 miles round trip so i just do not go. I think I would like it.. Now how do I save for that and not spend it on fabrics?
Overstock.com had some refurbished Nooks at an excellent price. DH got one and it works awesomely. I have the Nook color and it is fabulous. Nicest part is I don't have to go to the library, I use my library card number, got to the ebook part of the local libraries website and download the books from there. When they are due, they just automatically go back (welll, they actually just stop opening on the device). I went through 2 other readers before finding the Nook that actuallly does library downloads as advertised. Well worth the money.

I personally see no reason to buy an e-reader. I now get books or other material from my local library (that is what some of my real estate tax goes to)since it is associated with a network of some sort things come from many libraries...I haven't purchased from book stores in a long time....garage sales are fun to look thru, sometimes something interesting may be there. While traveling long distances, or when sewing I do like the audio books. I guess the fact that one has to pay for "electronic books" just bothers me.....I know some are free, but I think there is a charge for others...then, of course, as everything else electronic, there will always be an "upgrade" to the system......JMHO
