I do like this and I admit it is one of the features of Nook that attracts me to it. I haven't been to the bookstore too much lately because there's snow outside and it's cold. However, in the Spring, Summer and Fall I tend to go more often.
This is what I've been thinking as well. I usually have my iPod with me when I'm on the go and if I'm anywhere with wifi, it works just fine for web browsing and e-mail. Unless I forget my iPod, I couldn't really see using the eReader to access the internet or e-mail.
I've read this on other sites as well. I do like the color touchscreen on the bottom of the Nook. The covers are cool but I heard that the covers only appear for books brought at b&n.com. I also read that the organization for non B&N books is difficult.
Any Nook owners encounter this?
That's suppose to be one of the best perks (well, it was definitely one of the reasons I was looking at the Nook  )!
I never thought about doing that but that is a good idea.
What made you choose ultimately made you choose the Sony Reader over the Nook?
I have read that Sony's bookstore is rather limited. I have to check it out myself.
The last two posts bring up another issue. How easy is it to sideload books onto both devices? If I borrow library eBooks or buy eBooks from another source besides Sony or B&N, I'll have to sideload. Does anyone find one eReader easier to sideload books onto than the other? |
Very easy to sideload, the concept is exactly the same as hooking your Mp3 player when loading music on it. No different.
