You know, I think the droid book might be your answer for that too

Well the Kindle isn't going to do what I want it to. It'll show PDF files but they're teeny tiny and there is no zoom feature for PDF yet. I wonder if the software for these things get updated or if you're expected to buy a new one.

Damn that sucks. Personally, I'm waiting for this:

Hopefully they put it out sometime soon 'cause you know it will not get any press once the Crapple iPad is announced..

I wouldn't mind one of those either. At least I can still use the Kindle to read books and listen to MP3s.

Just wondering, are all kindle screens back and white? Cause it seems like only "mock-up" images of kindles seem to have colored screens.



edit: Am I the only person that finds the Barnes and Nobel E-book reader, the 'Nook', to be poorly named?

 

[Aeson]

I didn't know they had one. It is an odd name but so is kindle.lol Yes, it's black and white. I believe all of them are. I haven't looked into the bigger more expensive one much.

Kindle I find odd.

Nook, not so much. The word can refer to any "small space, particularly those that are not quite as big as a cranny"- and the thing is pretty small.

And I happened to remember a neighborhood bookstore called Book Nook.

Personally, I'm looking at the more pedestrianly named Reader series from Sony.

An e-reader is looking like an increasingly appealing option for me...I am running out of room to store all of the books I buy.

But I also have a collector mentality, and I like to have physical books to hold.

Galeros, no flirting.

Aeson is telling someone not to flirt?
