WTF?! EPUB is not supported?!  I have to use converters? <snip> We are talking about a 60 year old man here... He doesn't know how to deal with this shit... I should have recommended him a Nook.. 
Now off course the standard reply would be... "You should have done your homework before recommending anything to anyone!" <snip>
Lets put it this way... Kindle is a MAC. And Nook is PC. Nuff said. |
Wow! Homework lacking indeed, but prejudice glaringly obvious! Why would you recommend a device to someone without having any experience with it whatsoever and apparently having done nothing but read a few reviews? And I would bet that almost all reviews mention the fact that the Kindle does not do ePub! Most folks would also be aware that a 6" screen really doesn't do much for PDF files, which is why the Kindle DX is recommended if your main reading is of technical books and PDF formats.
And, as someone who will be 60 in a couple of months, I am rather amazed that apparently you think anyone over the age of 30 is a bit of an idiot and incapable when it comes to technology! Oh, and I personally like and own both PC's and MACs, the main advantage to the PC being that I can build my own.
The Kindle is an excellent eReader; I have never used a Nook so can not comment on its capabilities and would certainly not post that it was shite because it didn't do things the way the Kindle does!
(I know, shouldn't feed the troll, but I had to respond!)
