Keep both or sell one?

wordsthoughts · 05-20-2011, 01:09 AM

I bought a Kindle 3g about 3 months ago and was in love with it until I received a Galaxy Tab as a gift.

I work outside and was carrying my Kindle everyday to read on lunches and other down time. Now having the tab with Internet access all the time has cut my kindle time down to less than half since the Tab is a surfing device.

I feel kind of like I'm over packed when I bring both and hate leaving the tab home now. I'm not sure if I'm infatuated with the new device or truly over the kindle. I've been thinking: Should I sell my Kindle on Ebay? Should I keep both? I turned on my Kindle today after not touching it for 3 days and its such a beautiful device and I see the benefit of e-ink and all but arghh I'm confused!

Congrats on the Galaxy Tab.

My choice, if I was in your boots, would be to hang onto the Kindle a little bit longer. I can't imagine selling my Kindle and it lives happily with my IPad. I don't use my IPad much - I prefer my Kindle - but no way I would sell it as it is there for a rainy day. I also know that as soon as I get rid of something I will decide I really loved it and have to replace it. I did that with a freezer and yes, I know that a freezer is not really as attractive

Good luck with your decision however you choose.

I have a Nook and a Nook color modded with CM7. I take whichever I feel like doing. If I'm going to read - the Nook. If I'm going to play on the internet - Nook color.

Thanks for replying!

The gadgeteer in me wants to keep both. I wrote my 1st post from my laptop and the tab for this. I will say that I use the tab for games and browsing and not for book reading. But

I thought I would do the same but since I've purchased 3g data I hate leaving the tab at home. It seems like my kindle is a pretty paperweight.
