Hello... again. I posted this somewhere else but have managed to lose the post in the vastness of the forum.
I have been reading from the Stanza app on the iTouch for quite a while now, and have decided it's time for a bigger screen. Only in the last couple of days have I actually gone looking at various ereaders (none of which were powered on) in the store after looking at specs online. I'm still very undecided as to what I want, but I know I want something that can read the epub format.
This afternoon I was in Borders looking at the Kobo and realized I didn't like the flicker when you turned the page (picky aren't I? It's just the iTouch apps are very smooooth with page turning). As the Kobo is the first ereader I've actually been able to handle I'm not sure if this is something that occurs in most/all of the readers?
I haven't ruled the Kindle out as I understand it is possible to convert epub format to a format that can be imported by the Kindle via Calibre. Is the Kindle actually available in any store in the US? I don't know of anyone with one, and I'd like to do more than just look at pictures.
WiFi would be nice, but not a necessity, and although I wouldn't mind an iPad, hubby thinks that's a little extreme to 'just read books', and I'd prefer better battery life.
So? Any advice from the experts?
