I like to read in the pool-if I drop the book no big deal-if I drop the Nook-OH NO!!!!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286372190626748899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-42596053065822026682010-11-04T00:57:36.878-05:002010-11-04T00:57:36.878-05:00I'm waiting for the "Total Recall Reader....I'm waiting for the "Total Recall Reader." You don't read the book, but you are implanted with the <i>memory</i> of having read the book, so you can savor it and even discuss it with friends and teachers.Larry Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425250800667058263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-44142623818302113232010-11-03T18:44:23.059-05:002010-11-03T18:44:23.059-05:00My life would be so much easier with a Nook or Kin...My life would be so much easier with a Nook or Kindle. As much lugging around as we do, not having to lug books would be a blessing. My main concern is exactly the lugging though. Bags (yes, even the bag I use as a purse) get tossed, stepped on, thrown out/into/around the helicopter, squished into the small spaces...you get the idea. My paperbacks can take that. They can also take being shoved in a pants pocket and banged around as I climb in and out of, walk wherever, squeeze in wherever. I give an electronic one season, max, before I've killed it. *sigh* Secondarily, I do worry about bath water, oceans, and snowbanks. But if life ever settles down, I'm not opposed to getting one!!!! (I think, though, I may be opposed to life settling down, but that's another conversation.)BostonPobblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900134112278236654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-47041561279982201992010-11-02T07:19:50.794-05:002010-11-02T07:19:50.794-05:00So & So...you know, I have the kindle app on m...So & So...you know, I have the kindle app on my iPod touch, and could never get into it; the screen too small, and the text too large, I never made it through the first book (but it's still there in case of emergency). <br /><br />I'll admit to succumbing to reading recommendations too; I have to be careful not to hit the buy button too soon, I'm 20 in arrears now.<br /><br />Geewits, the bathtub is a point I forgot to make. You're right, I won't risk the Nook by holding it over water--maybe you could invent a waterproof cover, and make a million $$. It's dragging out an old paperback for tub time.Lori Stewart Weiderthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601450336245218356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-33759164091790221582010-11-02T07:19:37.977-05:002010-11-02T07:19:37.977-05:00I want one.

Plus I figure if the books cost less, that leaves more money for art books and that's the sort of thing a kindle can never replace.<br /><br />I just don't know if I want the wifi or 3g version...<br /><br />- JazzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-45896681588865744762010-11-02T04:08:38.500-05:002010-11-02T04:08:38.500-05:00My neighbor Carole just got a Kindle.

We will probably end up with one just because my husband goes to school and he thinks some of the textbooks will be cheaper that way. My only problem may be that I like to read a book in a bubble bath and as my second husband always said, "Water and electronics don't mix."geewitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590044820333720010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-76479299122211691022010-11-02T00:14:18.155-05:002010-11-02T00:14:18.155-05:00Thanks for posting this, I'd been meaning to a...Thanks for posting this, I'd been meaning to ask you if you liked it. I have ALWAYS been a big reader, but I find myself reading even more, and more variety since I got my Nook. A) I've got the reader on my phone, and I pull it out and read a couple pages waiting for meetings and things at work and B) although there's something nice and tangible about the bookstore, I find the recomendations and free books online get me to take chances on books I wouldn't glance at in the the bookstore. And unfortunately a lot of that has to do with cover design and titles. <br /><br />Glad you think it's money well spent!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
