Should I get an Ereader?
I LOVE books:)
and at first i didnt really like Ereaders because i like to feel the book in my hands and see it on paper but lately i’ve been thinking about the nook color. Because after all its a pain to carry a huge pile of books when you travel so then i could just have my whole library at the palm of my hand. But do you think it’s worth it? Would you recomend Ereaders? If so, which ones? And are Ebooks less or more expensive? Iv’e been going to the library frequently to save money on books.
Oh and just wondering- Do you buy your books (B&N, Borders, etc.) Go to the library, Or do you have an Ereader?
Hi, muffinz, regular books are great indeed but people that get an eReader generally read 3-4 times more books than before they got one thus that speaks for the devices (worth the money and useful.)
There are many advantages of eReaders – for example, you can put MP3’s on them and listen while you read and they can hold thousands of books in digital format.
Choosing the device, you should first decide which screen you want: e-Ink or LCD. It depends on what you’re reading. If just black & white novels then the better one would be Kindle or e-Ink Nook from Barnes & Noble. If you read electronic magazines or college text books with a lot of color graphs and charts or children’s’ books with a lot of pictures then the better would be Nook Color LCD from Barnes & Noble. Then, you should understand the limitations of e-Ink eReaders – they are limited to be black & white for now they “blink” at each ebook’s page turn, they’re not too good for web browsing, they need external light source for reading when dark, and they cannot handle videos.
Whichever device you choose, here’s the advantages of the Nook’s (both e-Ink black & white and Nook Color) over Kindle:
- Any Barnes & Noble store provides free Wi-Fi to Nook’s
- Nook allows to lend books for 2 weeks to friends or to your other devices that run B&N app (PC, MAC, Android phones, Apple iPhone and iPad, etc.) Barnes & Noble allows (when you walk in with the Nook to B&N store) to read any available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi. With Nook, while in BN store you get exclusive articles from top authors, and great offers including cafe treats and unique deals.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for library ebooks.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for renting text-ebooks.
Nook Color is worth mentioning separately as this is a hybrid Android Ereader/tablet device, something between Kindle and iPad. Even though Nook Color has LCD touchscreen, it’s a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight and produces less glare all of which are dooming reading on iPad. Also, the screen is amazing and readable/viewable at wide angles.
Overall, Nook Color is more than e-Reader as you can also watch video and use Android applications on it. It’s a hybrid device, much more than just an e-Reader but not a full tablet as it doesn’t have a camera. If all you want is to read novels, Kindle (or the original e-Ink Nook) might be better for you. If you want something more from your device (color charts and graphs of college text books, photos, children’s books, magazines and web sites in full color) at half of the price of iPad or Galaxy tab, then Nook Color is your best bet. at half of the price of iPad or Galaxy tab, then Nook Color is your best bet.
