Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Any e reader recs? Kindle? Fire? Something else? I'm tired of struggling with this.
I loved my Nook so very much, and broke it. Since they were out of them at the moment I broke it I tried the Kindle and I hate it compared to my dear Nook. I have the Paperwhite, but it just doesn't have my love. I'll get another Nook again.
Note that I don't think Nook has all the super free and cheap e-books to the extent that Kindle has them.
one of the advantages of the Paperwhite is that you can borrow ebooks from the library and have them auto-sent to your Kindle! It's great. You don't have to download and side-load them or anything.
The battery on a Paperwhite lasts a long time, and it's as easy to read as a paper book for me. I have basically stopped buying hard copies of books.
You can also download fic and sideload it.
I do like the ease of being able to just email things to my Kindle.
You can absolutely add fic to your kindle. I have several comfort reads on there. I keep a lot of comfort reads (fic or regular books that i read and re-read) on there, with newer or temporary stuff on the iPad.
I loved my Kindle Oasis because I found it easier to hold, but when it broke, I bought the most basic model and it has worked out fine once I put a pop tab in the back. I love it for reading in bed because the light isn't enough to keep TCG awake and I can read until I fall asleep, which is the only thing that works for me. I do have a kindle app on my ipad which I mainly use for graphic novels and cookbooks.
I like the physical design of the Kindle Oasis and adding stuff to it that doesn't come from Amazon seems to be pretty easy (I haven't done it a whole lot, but I apparently expect it to be much more complicated than it actually is and am pleasantly surprised every time). Bluetooth only for audio, which is ok for me but something to consider if you have plug in headphones you love or something.
I am too lazy to use multiple devices and just read on my phone (or, very very occasionally, the in-browser Kindle reader).
I move around from room to room with five different devices, a hardcover, and magazines. It's a good thing I have a little helper in the form of ltc.
Timelies all!
I have both the Kindle app and the Nook app on my iPad, as well as Hoopla and Libby for borrowing ebooks.
