Two Ebook readers

teotjunk · 09-19-2013, 08:40 PM

I wonder how many people own 2 ebook readers . One 10 inch one and a smaller one. Wonder if it is too much of an indulgence for me to buy both

I own a 6in eink reader and a 9in tablet.
I think of the eink reader as my outdoors and travel paperback class reader and the color tablet as my indoors hardcover class reader. As it so happens they actually are the size of a paperback and a hardcover, respectively.
The tablet I use for comics, cookbooks, and pdfs. (Plus email, online reading, and the odd game of Spider solitaire.)
Both get enough use to justify the cost.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

My Eink is my book reader.
My Tablet is for Color photos/documents and PDF S that I use at the job site. In a pinch, I can read a 'Book' (as long as I am in the shade .

I own three 6 inch eink readers, but use only the Kindle Paperwhite. I don't use my tablets for reading books, but do use my phone and iPod T for listening to audiobooks.
Tablets are for surfing, note taking and apps.

There are lots of people on this board with two or more readers. They have them in different sizes, colors, etc. I only have one that I use at the moment but for a brief time I had two (Sony PRS-350 and Nexus 7). I sold my Sony reader and use my tablet for e-reading.

There are people who have only two?

I have a Kindle Paperwhite and an iPad 3, but as far as I'm concerned, I only have one* ebook reader. The iPad is for Internet browsing, Twitter and games; I've read maybe two books on it and hated the experience.

*I also have two retired eInk readers, Sony 505 and Kindle 3, which both still work (although the Sony's battery is pretty dead) but that I don't actively use.

I own a 13 inch tablet and a 10 inch tablet. So tempted to buy a six inch ebook reader for portability

Every day, I use both a 10" tablet and 5" e-ink reader. Use not quite daily, Kindle Fire 1, for the things it does well. Debating picking up a Kindle PW, to see how I feel about that front light thing. Perfectly reasonable to have multiple devices and use them for the things they do best.

I have four machines that I read books on and they are all in my signature.

I was boggling over that, as well. I have multiples of 2.

You definitely should! Any e-ink reader is going to be lighter and more portable than what you have. Kobo Mini is the smallest and lightest.

If they had a Kobo mini with light, I would probably not be able to resist. Every time a Kobo comes out, my fingers are itching to click the order button.
