I was very hesitant to embrace the e-reading revolution, but my parents treated me to a Kindle for Christmas in 2012 . . . and, well, I've been hooked since. I was initially worried I'd stop wanting to read in print (and have a billion physical books, like many readers), but that definitely hasn't happened. I'd say about 70 percent of my reading is still print-based, but I do enjoy the portable nature of having so many books on hand with the Kindle -- especially for traveling.Meg @ write meg!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15837479897570974834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-43154397377374826262014-03-10T22:15:14.534-04:002014-03-10T22:15:14.534-04:00I'm looking forward to reading your future pos...I'm looking forward to reading your future posts.

What hooked me was that, even when I forget to tuck a book in my purse, I have my iPod with the Kindle app. I can also use it to read at night while my husband sleeps. I also love the deals you can get on ebooks. I still primarily read in print and on audio, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-26442345664322814822014-03-10T21:51:59.923-04:002014-03-10T21:51:59.923-04:00After starting with the first Kindle, and then the...After starting with the first Kindle, and then the first Nook, I bought a Kindle Paperwhite and I LOVE it. It is a perfect reader for me. I want only a reader, not a device that offers distractions. I use it mostly at night and it saves me holding a book and having to use a little book light. As I said, it is perfect for me.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-79489429058658012112014-03-10T19:48:20.732-04:002014-03-10T19:48:20.732-04:00I am looking forward to hearing about your experie...I am looking forward to hearing about your experiences.Melissa Wiebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657787882718834484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-67790855426282764312014-03-10T18:52:56.471-04:002014-03-10T18:52:56.471-04:00Can't wait to see more about this series.

I love the device in so many ways and, while I still read printed matter, this is great for my lengthy commute since I always have multiple things to read.<br /><br />I've also turned a lot of complaining iPad users onto the device since they hate reading on their table. I like the e-ink as it reduces eye strain.<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing about your own adventure.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00374987261333318644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-55148594113765538802014-03-10T14:22:15.839-04:002014-03-10T14:22:15.839-04:00This sounds like it will be a great series!

I now think I am at a comfortable place. While I can't imagine giving up physical books entirely, it has definitely helped with space constraints. This year I made the move to primarily get review copies as e-books. That's a HUGE change for me!Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-66784587842287043232014-03-10T11:57:23.206-04:002014-03-10T11:57:23.206-04:00I'm really looking forward to these posts!

I got an early Nook, but had the same problems you mention -- clunky experience and, especially, difficult to get books that were not from B&N on the device to read. Since then, I've toyed with upgrading to a better Nook like the Simple Touch but have started to do most of my ereading on my tablet. But I don't love it -- being on a screen all day can get old -- so I'm curious what combination of devices you use.

I still have the Nook but for e galleys the iPad works best. I really like a basic e reader with e ink for just reading, but most PDF and other files don't transfer well. I will always love the feel of a paper book, but ebooks make reading so portable and easy.

I have Nook, Kindle, Blue Reader and iBook on my iPad and phone. I read NetGalley books, free PDF books and articles, and books I want to read or own, but I don't want them taking up precious bookcase space. Since I live in NYC, I bus it a lot and read using my phone now, instead of carrying books.<br /><br />Do I prefer an eReader? Not at all, I love the phycicality of books, the feel of the paper, the smell of the ink, the sound of turning pages and, of course, the content.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.com
