Probably frightened off by the Nook vs. Kindle holy war that sprung up.

Wait, you mean it actually matters if an ebook has DRM and is formatted differently from what your ebr natively reads?
I shoulda popped some popcorn before I started reading this thread! I must be doing things the hard way when I buy an ebook at whatever store I choose, d/l the ebook to my PC, import it to Calibre, then email it to my K3. |

many of the books from my kindle can come with me to most readers. why? because many of the ebooks i read on my kindle are non-drm'ed mobi files from smashwords, and almost all (maybe all) are also available in epub and txt.

Oh
"Normal people" who grew up with the web or were only ever exposed to the Internet via a web browser, often make no distinction between 'the Internet' and 'the World Wide Web.'
Developers still have to |

so.. what should i buy then? kindle or nook touch.
this thread is fun btw. it's like reading console war. never thought ereader would have such war lol i don't really need to highlight stuff and i haven't read any serious book for about 2 years now. I kind of want to start reading again. a browser would be nice as there is a lot of japan light novel available on net. nook touch sd feature does give it a big advantage but like someone said in earlier page of this thread, why would u need 32gb space if you can't use mp3 or anything else . i've seen root on nook and didn't like it since it blinks too much even tho the function available seem on par with kindle after rooting. and kindle has landscape mode. that is really useful .. also it seems that kindle font is a lot more darker so i don't need to squint my eyes much. i will also be using it to read manga. can't decide |
