However, I understand the conflict. I had a Nook Color Tablet and you can't read in sunlight outside. So I now have a Kindle Paperwhite for reading, plus always have a stack of paperbacks for times they come in handy--travel, poolside etc. Thanks for this informative post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-1118884006310745202014-04-03T12:04:51.607-04:002014-04-03T12:04:51.607-04:00Yeah, when we went to Florida I brought my e-reade...Yeah, when we went to Florida I brought my e-reader loaded up with books, but I also brought two paperbacks. I didn't end up really reading, but I wanted to be ready for anything.

Adoboe Digital editions does not support my tablet, so the purpose I bought it for, to load books from NetGalley, can not be done. I still have to read those on my laptop. My dedicated ereader won't work with my newer laptop because I have windows 7 . Nook can't fix the problem because it's a Window's problem and Window's has no interest in fixing it as they have moved on to Windows 8. The only way I can get books onto my Nook is from wifi to the B&N site. Still doesn't solve my NetGalley issue. oh darn, I am surprised by how comfortable it is to read books on my Blackberry Z10. I thought the text would be too small, but it is quite comfortable and the bonus is that I always have my phone with me, so if I am stranded unexpectedly I have a book at hand.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501259287565067209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-87785121250656759482014-04-03T10:59:57.407-04:002014-04-03T10:59:57.407-04:00I worry about exposing my iPad to sand and water, ...I worry about exposing my iPad to sand and water, and I'm thinking about buying the dry case made by Lifeproof.Beth Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770840174293503835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-83809451919025328382014-04-03T10:13:25.134-04:002014-04-03T10:13:25.134-04:00Reading my kindle on the beach or near water makes...Reading my kindle on the beach or near water makes me nervous. I've also realized you can't read it on a plane at the beginning or end of the flight. There's got to be some sort of good balance between reading e-readers and hard copies, I just haven't figured out exactly what it is yet.

I'd also like an e ink reader vs the nook tablet I bought. I'm sort of rambling, but for me the ease of carrying books around on my reader or iPad is nice. I have bought e books but I read more e galleys that purchased e books. It's helped me read books I might not be pitched but what to read. I've been white listed by several publishers so that's a perk. I would still say I prefer print in books, but I do read a good percentage of my books digitally. <br />Loving this series from you :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129662082248482002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-46274251775785632982014-04-03T08:13:04.212-04:002014-04-03T08:13:04.212-04:00Another downside to eReaders is they make you cut ...Another downside to eReaders is they make you cut them off at the beginning and end of flights - at least they did the last time I flew.

The Kindle really usefully comes with a USB charger that also works for both of our mobile phones and my husband's tablet, so we pretty much just need one plug for all of our e-readers, tablets, and phones. The only challenge is deciding who gets to charge when! ;) Doesn't solve the beach or camping issues, though, and I agree on those, paper is probably better in both those cases.<br /><br />Agree on the patience for changing your method of reading. Even switching from a button clicking to a touch screen e-reader took a few hours of reading before I adjusted properly. Now if I go back to my husband's with the button, I forget that I need to push a button and try to touch the screen.<br /><br />This is a really great series of posts!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553655640589660182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-10993923846419548262014-04-03T07:45:16.865-04:002014-04-03T07:45:16.865-04:00I signed up for Readmill last week and got their e...I signed up for Readmill last week and got their email this week; what a shame. I use my ereader mostly on the treadmill, it's so easy to read while walking. I also will throw it in my bag if I am taking the bus or subway for long distances or if I attend an event where I will be waiting a long time (like this week's seven hour wait for Bette Midler's signing.)(Diane) bookchickdihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640913682123489734noreply@blogger.com
