[quote=""Divia""]I haven't found that to be true. In fact a few books I want are on Kindle only and not the nook. I have to go to Kobo and download them and transfer them over. Not sure how to do that yet.[/quote]
I am truly shocked to know this, Divia, but I guess in your case an iPad would come in handy. I have the Kindle app, the Kobo app and the Nook app. So far, though, I've only used the Kindle. On the slim chance that I might find an Ellis Peters book on the Nook, I looked there, only to be disappointed yet again.
[quote=""cw gortner""]So, I now have a rather snazzy and expensive device I'll probably not use very much, at least not for book reading. I did download some books recently before I went to travel and made myself leave all physical copies at home. Of course, the moment I ran across an airport book store I dove in like an addict and bought three books. I was literally in withdrawl.
Something about the glass, the lack of actual pages . . . I must be a freak but I just can't get immersed in the book itself with an e-reader. I'm too aware of the machine. Maybe it just takes practice but I'm an old dog and this particular new trick, for all its raging popularity, has failed to entice me thus far.
Guess I'll end up buried with my piles of tomes, like a bibliophilic pharoah.[/quote]
CW, my biggest beef with the iPad is the lack of a keyboard, save for the one on the screen. I'm a fairly fast typer and going from a fast speed to basically "hunt and peck" typing drives me up the wall. Of course I did splurge on a wireless keyboard, but I don't use it as often as I had hoped I might.
[quote=""MLE""]I'm not worried about availability. Within five years, almost everything will be available in all the major e-formats.
You just have to have patience. The technology isn't that old, after all.[/quote]
Patience MLE? What's that?
