MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - I think I have too many eReaders (devices). What about you?

It's really easy to pick. What are your 'go to' devices. What are the 2 or 3 that you use most often. Those are your best choices. Sell the others while they still have value or give to a family member.

Otherwise, I suggest keeping 3 because I don't consider your phone a reading device. Sure, it works in 20 min. slots when you are away from home, but it is hard on the eyes. I recommend keeping the Nook as well as the PW2. The PW2 is a NICE reading device. The Nook has some great apps including audiobook (see Smart Audiobook). It is also a larger size for reading pdfs and much easier to cook from. Honestly, I'd also keep the Ipad mini since it is 4G unless you don't do any surfing away from home.

Kindle Touch
Kindle PW1 3G
Kindle PW2 wifi <--- keep this
Nook 7 inches HD <--keep this
iPad mini 4G 1st gen.
iPad Air wifi <- keep this

I am just as bad, but my collection includes many audiobooks too. As a result, I have a bunch of listening devices as well. However, all of these get used regularly, one shuffle gets used for mood music, while the other is lent out to family members to listen to audiobooks.

Kindle Keyboard <--stays at home
Kindle NT - <---goes with me
Nook ST <---My primary ereader
Nook HD+ <-- use in poor lighting situation, but also use for audiobooks
Itouch 4g <--use all the time, but now leave at home
Ipod Nano - 4 gen, 6th gen, 7th gen
Ipod Shuffle - two models, don't know gen- latest and one before.

I use things until they break. In fact, I only recently got rid of my Mac 6200 CD (from 1993 or 1994) because it broke. I haven't been able to access the internet with it since 1999 or so, but it was regularly used for games and such.
