Nook or Kindle -- Do you think they are as offensive to the eyes as the computer? Do you know much about them...one better than the other?
I'm interested in getting one...maybe santa will bring it --i've been a good girl. |

I have the first Nook put out. It is fantastic, and it is the one device that I actually learned how to operate. I hate techy stuff, but this one I am hooked on. I take it where ever I go, and the cover has room for cards and money. The only thing I don't like about it, is that the surface of the reader does get small tiny scratches on it. They don't show while you read, but you can see them at an angle. If you purchase one of these, get a see through cover for it. They did not make them when I first got the nook. I chose that one, because I didn't need the ones with apps, or all the extras. The new nooks have color, if you read magazines, or study maps. The resolution for maps and pictures is not that good on my origional Nook. The new ones have higher resolution, and offer more but are more complicated to use. ginnie

I don't have an actual Kindle, but reading Kindle and other e-books on my iPhone was the first type of reading I was able to tolerate. The smaller screen size seemed to help since I didn't have to move my eyes so much.

I have a Nook, the early black and white model. It is great unless the e-book is poorly formatted with no margins and small type/bad fonts. My first read was Tom Sawyer. A difficult task with the southern dialect but a worthwhile challenge for my brain. I have not purchased any e-books. I use the Gutenberg Project for free E-books.

[I do purchase books from Barnes and Noble. They do have free books there also. Had not heard of Guten berg project for free books before, thank you. I also have had no format trouble, or font trouble with the Nook reader with the books I have purchased. ginnie
