Question about Ereaders and iphones
I'm contemplating getting an Ereader but I have a few questions.
First, I'm leaning more toward a Nook over a Kindle because the Nook is compatible with the public library Ebook consortium and the kindle is not. I have to double check on the Sony Reader about this.
I heard you can also access your book from your iphone, ipad, etc. (I have neither but maybe one day I'll get an Iphone.) Let's say I get a Nook and want to read from the Nook when I work out inside, but when I go for a run I want to listen to the book (where I left off) on my Iphone. Is that possible or would I have to purchase a seperate audioversion of the book?
Re: Question about Ereaders and iphones
It's definitely possible. It connects to your account so you can access it from whatever app you are using - iphone, ipad, etc.
I haven't done it yet but my sister has a Kindle and she's contemplating giving it to my mom because she reads all of her books on her ipad Kindle app now...

The Kindle has a text-to-speech function, but I don't believe it works on the app (only on the device). It is also a very robotic voice, which you might not be able to stand for very long.
My gut is telling me you'd really need to buy a separate text and audio book. However, then you won't have the syncing between the two, which would make it more of a pain than it is worth IMO.
I think you may need both the reader and the audio book to do that. Double check though.
Also, if you read a lot be sure to really examine the screens on both the Nook and the Kindle. I prefer the Kindle screen to the Nook for readability and preventing eye strain.
