From a nook to a Kindle 3 in one step

supermighty · 09-18-2010, 10:54 AM

It was easy, I just got to Target early and they had one for me.

I love it. Leaps and bounds better in the specific areas that are important to me. That is page turn, organizing books, and weight.

Page turning is fast, very fast. My benchmark for speed is how long it takes me to move my eye from the bottom of the page to the top. There was always a lag with the nook, the kindle is just as fast as my eye.

Now I just need to convert my 158 epubs over.

I was deciding between the K3 and the Sony 650. In the end I just had more faith in the future of the Kindle than in Sony.

Glad you like your Kindle and interesting that you like how it can organise books as most people in the Kindle forum moan about this aspect!

Yes I feel that Amazon are more interested in the future of the Kindle and that's partly as they have such a good bookstore - Amazon were all about books right from the very start. With Sony and also with Apple, I just get the feeling that they're trying to cash in but it was never a passion for either company to go into the book market.

Coming from a no organization at all ebook reader to simple organization seems like a dream to me. Maybe I'll learn to loath it in time.

The nook was interesting. All the reasons I bought it for ended up not being important to me. Android hacking, wifi (a first for ebook readers), micro-SD card, and the second screen.

The only thing I really miss is epub support. I mostly read books from Project Gutenberg or convert blog posts to epub to read. So I don't have to re-buy anything, just convert a lot of stuff.
