But if I needed too I can just turn up the brightness & read just fine. Back to the K3 though. I'm loving it. I had already invested in a couple of hundred kindle books so thats why I stuck with it I also have a library of books sitting on my PC that I can easily convert with Calibre. This Xmas I want to get my father a nook though. The reason why is so that he can rent from the library. He won't buy as many books as I do & have so I think this will be a better option for him. Also the wifi & 3G leave him unteathered & I don't have to go over for tech support. Keep it as simple as possible for him.
Make sure, before you jump, that you check the library he has a card for, and that they offer epub books that he likes.

Every library is different in its offerings. Some have no eboooks, some have a few....some, have tons.

I understand that for $15 per year, you can buy a membership from the Philadelphia free library, but very few offer non resident memberships.
