I've been able to get pretty much anything to work on my ipod touch, albeit a little ugly at times, so now I'm wondering if I can do the same with Kindle. I've got a pretty large collection of free and not free e-books on my computer that I'm hoping to be able to read on a decent sized screen. Will I be unable to read some of my books? Is it only epubs that have DRM?
If I can only read books that I've purchased from the Amazon store, not interested...
Sorry if this post was a little convoluted haha, thanks for your help  |
All major USA online bookstores sell their books with DRM protection so do not get confuse with what the formats are. You cannot read Nook books outside the Nook and same for Kindle. Assuming you bought from their respectives stores.
My advice to you would be check titles on their stores and compare prices and availability. The one with more titles and better prices should give you an idea of the device you need.
Kindle is light, fast changing pages and has landscape mode, PDF support among others.
Another comparable device is Sony.
Nook Color is not a dedicated reader and is locked out the box, no Android market; it is also heavier and poor battery life. Kindle gives you up to one month with one charge.
