Nook or Kindle: What's your poison?

[Princess 35]

Which do you prefer? I got the Nook Color and I love it. It's kinda like an iPad and has some apps and can play Pandora radio.

[Andy 60]

Hmm, I don't think the Nook is out in the UK, or at least a brief Google doesn't reveal any information on where you can get one. hadn't even heard of it before you mentioned it!

[Mara 29]

Nook is by Barnes & Noble, so maybe that's why?

[Ana 15]

I'm sure you'll be very shocked by my write-in vote of iPad. :p

[Winters 0]

I love my Nook WiFi, it works well and it's just generally awesome.

[Pandora 77]

I still prefer a freaking book. You never see pics of professors in front of their ereaders.

[Andy 60]

Books will never die, IMO. :p

I"ve got my eyes on a Kindle Fire... :shifty:

I just got a Nook Simple Touch. Went for Nook over Kindle because I like the idea that I can take it to a physical store if I have an issue. I like it so far. I didn't want a tablet type thing...bright screens give me a headache if I read too long. Don't need color to read a novel, imo. I can read on the Simple Touch for hours without issue, same as reading a regular book. I do still prefer a real book, but I've run out of room to put up new book shelves in my tiny tiny house!

[Princess 35]

I know your pain TSL! Though I do like the ability to set my color to night mode with a gray background and white words

[Bad furday 57]

I'm now the proud owner of a Nook Tablet! :D

[Princess 35]

Yay!

[Pandora 77]

My brother and dad have gotten my mom a Nook for Christmas. It's not the tablet, I'm assuming it's the relatively inexpensive, basic one. I was impressed with how much the screen looked like ink on paper. It's still not a book though so I'm not yet convinced....

This. There's something about the feel of the paper.

[Bad furday 57]

I do like the way books smell when I'm reading them- ie: whatever printing inks/paper the old Bantam Spectra paperbacks used....is to me how a SW novel should always smell. It's nearly pavlovian for me :p

[Princess 35]

I got mine because I ran out of room for any new books. I swear my dream house will have a Beauty and the Beast style library

[Bad furday 57]

And a ballroom :p

[Pandora 77]

Well that goes without saying. Mystical servants are optional.

[Princess 35]

Really, I am a Princess after all :p

[Pandora 77]

I'll keep my eyes open for an enchanted appliance labor placement service.

[Princess 35]

w00t!
