e-readers

[TerryE]

I also have a Kindle app on my phone, but only use it when there's no other reading material around. If I used a reader at all, I would want it to be the size of a standard hardback book. I've always loved amazon, so I support them. The app works great, and the few things I've ordered have mostly been done on my PC through the regular website, which I like.

I don't really read many eBooks since I prefer physical books, but I do a little reading with the Kindle app on my Droid Incredible. I have the B&N app as well but don't use it typically as you have to connect to your account every time I think in order to read anything. I can read on my Kindle App whenever I want, with or without reception. I can't get new books or sync with no connection though obviously

I have an android tablet that I use. The original galaxy tab to be exact, and I use the Kindle app for it. I like it a lot as I much prefer the amazon store to the Barnes and Nobel store.

If you have one, what do you use, and what do you think of it?

I got the Nook Simple Touch for Christmas. Two complaints: the background ("page") is much duller than the photos on the B&N website, which makes it look almost white. In reality, it looks like a bowl of oatmeal. And I wish there was a feature to delete items directly on the unit itself; instead, you have to "synchronize" with your B&N Nook account; I'm no dummy or Luddite but it seems like a complicated way to do something so simple. I don't have wi-fi at home so I end up going to the library, but every time I want to delete something I end up scratching my head and going around in circles.

At home, I use Adobe Reader edition to download books, so no problem there; I just connect my Nook and drag the books into it. For me, the Nook for PC program is pretty annoying too. It's easy to put books on, not so easy to take them off, unless I'm missing something.

And now I see that next month they're coming out with a back-lit Simple Touch. It would be nice if they had a trade-in program.

EDIT: Today I installed an update, and I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but the background seems a bit brighter now. Of course, I had my eyes dilated this afternoon, so maybe I'm imagining it.
