Went to another best buy today and still like the nook or the kindle 3. Wanted to look at a sony but they didn't have any on display, and the kobo was dead just like the one at the first best buy was.
Difficult to compare them when they are all in demo mode. Wanted to change font and screen brightness on the nook and kindle but no joy.
I still prefer the page turn buttons on the kindle vs the ones on the nook touch as the kindle is much easier to push. However, my understanding is one can use the touch screen to turn the pages on the nook.
Best buy claimed they have a 14 day return policy and if I am not happy I can bring the unit back. If that's true then maybe my exposure is not too great.
Wife likes the text to speech feature on the kindle. How well does that work and does it work with all books? Does it sound like a gps voice and is it pretty accurate in the translation? Can she start out reading a book, then continue the book by listening to it during the drive, then switch back to reading when at her destination?
I see amazon has $99 refurb kindle 3's.
If I get in bed with amazon/kindle, does that mean all the books I've purchased could not be used on a nook should I decide to change to the nook or other reader later?
I have not checked with the libraries in the counties we travel to but that's a good idea. I don't know if they would have the books if our home library is the largest in the state and doesn't have them.
Thanks
