Hi all!
I have been using my BB Storm with Mobipocket so far to read my ebooks. I actually love using it, but recently I (or my 1 year old actually) cracked my screen and it bothers me quite a bit now. It is actually cheaper to buy a ereader than paying somebody to fix it or buying a new one.
First off, I am in Canada, so the extra features on the Nook like wifi and 3g would be pointless. I would also never use the mp3 player as I use podtrapper on my phone for audiobooks or my zen.
I own 100's of ebooks already. Some are from Kobo in epub format, some are mobi (from amazon), some I have had for years and would use calibre to convert them. I want an ereader that will keep
all of my files in one place. I don't want to have to go back and forth between different folders (unless it is for authors or series),
and I want all of my covers to show up while looking through my library. I am told the
Nook will be able to do this if I root it? It looks pretty easy (I have done a few different phones etc...), but I wonder how many people have bricked their Nooks, or is it as straight forward as it seems? also, would the
Kobo do as I mentioned above?
Things I like about the
Kobo:
- small and lightweight
- available here in Canada
- maybe will show all of my books (in epub format) in my library with covers, even ones not bought via kobo.com
- syncs to BB, although I read here it doesn't to storm yet (?)
Things I like about the
Nook
- colour cover flow (but won't work with the books I have now unless I soft root it?)
- touchscreen (is just the cover flow area, right?)
- has page turn buttons on either side of screen
I am going to the US this weekend, so I could pick up a Nook while there (or a Kobo and get the giftcard).
Thanks, any info is appreciated!
