Dream Girl ,'Bring On The Night'

Have Nooked. I'm not much interested in the ability to browse the web, so I didn't test that. Page refresh was...well, that's e-ink. Page display, nice and crisp. Feel in hand, very nice. Fits in purse very well, and now I just have to buy a small sleeve for it that doesn't take up much more real estate.
Neatly, it charges with the same mini-USB as my phone, so it's charging in my trunk right now.
Oh, and again Ipad will be in target in a few days, so you will have a chance to try that too if you don't have a friend with one.
Since I'm not buying a Kindle, and I don't want an iPad's extra stuff, it's pretty much Nook or offbrand. The Nook will have to do something extra-surprising over the next couple weeks to go back.
Yay, ita! I hope it makes your ER visits a little easier.
I've never seen a Nook up close. My Kindle was a birthday gift.
I'm a weirdo and have a Sony PRS-600, I haven't used it for a purchased book yet. Just for looking over and editing my and other people's stuff, and library books. The ability to take notes with a stylus was the big selling point for me. For just reading, the Sony e-Readers just don't seem competitive to me anymore.
It was so nice not to be loaded down with books and magazines for the cross-country flight. New Yorker and San Francisco Chronicle are both delivered to my Kindle as well.
It's so freaking small! And the current book I'm reading is Kushiel's Dart--I don't necessarily need to have that cover evident everywhere, especially near work. I would totally buy an e-version so I could read my S&M-lite on the down low.
But first I think I will go with the Hunger Games books. And that Last Unicorn stuff. Reading books on the phone just wasn't hacking it, although it's fine for websurfing.
ita, the Hunger Games books are what got me through the flights!! CRACK! And perfect ebook reading. I gotta admit, I love that what I am reading being hidden really appeals to me.

oh that is interesting.
I have a Kindle and I like the ability to port long articles from Instapaper to the kindle. I believe there is Nook functionality for this as well.
My iPad is probably the main thing that kept me from going completely crazy during my three weeks in the hospital.
