Should I get a nook-please read further!!?
Hi so all I really want is an e reader device. I want the nook because I feel like it will soon surpass the kindle 2 and most of the features available on the kindle 2 I really don’t need. I don’t travel outside the US, I don’t need to access the internet, because I have my blackberry for that, I don’t like audio books, and the size or thickness doesn’t matter to me. I would rather get the nook also because I go to Barnes and Noble frequently so I know they are trustworthy. So I am leaning mroe toward getting a nook, tell me what you think?
have a Nook & I love it! I also considered the Kindle because I shop on Amazon often. It’s been around longer, and has the text-to-speech feature. Unfortunately, text to speech is not available with all books.
I chose the Nook for the following reasons:
1. It supports epub. Kindle does not. You may be able to convert epub files for use on Kindle, but there’s a small fee for each file. Epub is a commonly used ebook format. You can download free epub books online or borrow them from the library.
2. It has a micro sd slot for expandable memory. The Kindle does not.
3. The Kindle’s keyboard is an eyesore. The Nook has a sleeker design.
4. The Nook supports mp3 files. I believe the Kindle may as well. For this reason, lack of text to speech was not a dealbreaker for me. If I’m busy but still want to listen to a book, I can play an audiobook. I can also play my music which I have loaded.
5. The Nook allows you to use your own photos as screensavers. The Kindle does not.
6. With the Nook, you are able to loan some titles to friends.
7. The Nook has a user replaceable battery. The Kindle does not.
8. I was able to try it in the store.
I believe that sums up my reasons for choosing Nook. In the end, it depends on what features you like as they are both good products.
