Number of e-Ink devices... - Page 4

I don't have any. I use my Nook Color. Will probably get a Nook STR sometime soon. But, right now alas, I have nil.

Two e-ink: a Classic Nook 3G and a Pocketbook 360. The Nook was my first ereader, and the 360 is my back-up (and I love it for all the reasons mentioned).

Most of the time, though, I read on either my Nook Color or my iPod. I prefer the screen size of the NC to all of the other readers I have, and I like being able to keep the iPod in my pocket so that I can read during breaks at work.

Just my Kindle3 WiFi, which I love.

Yeah, I just noticed that, having read the thread title incorrectly. Oops.

Still, had I not received this NC as a gift, I'd probably have bought a Kindle or something I can use outside.

I've sold most of mine. I currently only have five eInk devices:

- Kindle 3
- Sony PRS-350
- BeBook Neo
- iRex DR1000S
- Pocketbook 360

I have one eInk device. I suppose I could get a second one, since I technically have two eyes with which to read.

Well, I have two ears, so technically, I guess I can use my NC outside if I want to listen to audiobooks. Problem is 90% (or more) of my library's audiobook offerings is in .wma format which isn't supported by my device. I'll have to listen to the same .mp3 audiobooks over and over I guess

It's not just the eyes; you really want one in each hand.

1) Sony PRS505 (Costco purchase a number of years ago) Wife's - She loves it, It seems very reliable.
2) Kobo Touch - Mine -- Very capable especially after latest firmware - Excellent hardware - Minimal size & weight with small bezels and 6 1/2 oz or 183grams - solid software base & active support.

I put two Kindles side by side and have the one on the right turned to the following page, that way it's like a real book. They're glued to an old door hinge. I simultaneously click the forward buttons on each (the left side button on the left, right button on the right).

Hey, I think you might be onto something, there!

Oh, see, now that makes sense to me.

Have you also nailed a "musty book" air freshener to the back to simulate the smell?

Quake1028 · 06-30-2011, 04:42 PM

Just one.

I'm reading David Foster Wallace's book, The Pale King. As anyone who reads DFW knows, the man had a thing for footnotes. The footnotes are often fine reading, too. So I have the book itself on my K3, and keep my iPhone Kindle App open to the footnotes. Saves a lot of moving the cursor around.

I have not gone so far as to attach them, though. I'm afraid of an explosion...
