Started by Will Wilkinson · 9 months ago

Megan says, “everyone I know thinks the Kindle is not very good, but is nonetheless the wave of the future…” False! Megan knows me. I actually have a Kindle, thanks to Kerry’s warm yuletide generosity, and I love it!
Here are my complaint ... Continue reading »

    You can send me your old books, I'll even pay for shipping.

    I was going to buy an ebook reader but I decided to purchase a mini laptop (Asus Eee PC) instead, I just couldn't justify a device soley for book reading purposes, but a fully functioning computer, yes.

    I dig tiny computers, but I really needed to spend less time reading backlit displays, which is one reason I really like the Kindle. I can email myself pdfs and whatnot, and then read them at my leisure, and eyestrain-free without having to remember to grab or find the printout.

    How's the Asus? I think I probably want a tiny laptop eventually anyway.

    But you have so few of your books on your library thing page. You should just take a week off and put them all on there. That's more or less what I did, despite not having the time to do that at all.

    I quite like the Asus. It would never replace my current computer, obviously, but I find it great to take to the university since it is really small. I've always disliked laptops because they are too bulky to carry around but at 7" the Asus is perfect. That said, I'd probably recommend waiting for the second generation.

    Probably in the next few years I'll break down and buy an ebook reader since the screens are much better to read from like you say. Also, at 200+ books, I'm probably going to run out of shelf space soon.
