I was mainly concerned with:
The price (the $50 coupon should help)
what the case was made out of (apparently I was very wrong)
what file formats it can handle. (I guess I was wrong here too)
I will probably be getting most of the books from the Kindle store as it is the easiest way and can use the gift cards. That is if I do decide to go with the Kindle. I am trying to convince my family to buy one for me for the holidays (my bday is also in Dec. )
I do like many features on the Kindle. One being the dictionary lookup, the Sony does not have this if I am not mistaken.
I am very new to the whole ebook device thing. I have read a couple ebooks from my computer screen... pain in the eyes... and also have done audiobooks as well.
Does anyone know, if I have audiobooks on cd, is there any way to transfer them onto the Kindle? I have found a few at thrift stores, dollar stores etc I bought them before knowing anything about the Kindle or ereaders. If not there is always my iPod lol. |
Not only that, but it seems like every few months, Amazon puts out a freebie book.
I do know that you can easily copy audio books onto the Kindle. I haven't done it, but that ability is specifically mentioned in the manual.
It really isn't important what you get, as long as it is something that you like and that suits you.
That said ... I second the idea of trying the Kindle out for a few weeks. Start out with the masses of free books that are available. If you don't like it ... return it ... and you won't even have spent a dime on ebooks.
Me .... I knew about five minutes into using my Kindle that it was absolutely perfect for me. I haven't changed my mind ... or even had a second thought about it since then.
