E-reader ladies...

I'm thinking of getting my mom one for Mother's Day.  She travels to visit her b/f and I know that she usually takes a book or two with her for the flight.  Can you educate on these, please?

Re: E-reader ladies...

  • I love my kindle and my non techie mom loves the one I gave her in feb. by the end of the year they're going to have it so you can borrow from the library like the nook. I recommend the 3g one for sure.

  • I have a Kindle and I love love love it! I'm not sure what all you want to know about it, but it's been awesome. I love to read and can finish a book in a day if I had the time, but I never had time to go to the book store to get any new ones. By having this, I can get online either on my home computer or on the wifi that is built into the Kindle, go to the Amazon website and pick any book I want. It's uploaded to my device in just a few minutes. You can get a lot of books for free on the site, but the price of books is usually $5 to $10. It's cheaper than what you would get a bestseller for in a store. You can also get online (as I mentioned above), download newspapers, magazines, etc. I even have a crossword puzzle book on mine, haha! It can hold hundreds of books.

    My mom has the nook color and loves it just as much. I don't know which one is "better" per say, but I think she can "share" books with friends...I'm not sure if I can do that with my Kindle or not. Maybe I just haven't figured that option out yet!

    I really do love the ease of it and how long it stays charged. I would definitely recommend it. My mom and I both love ours.

    Ebay was going to be my next stop for a cover.  Can you get the Kindle's anywhere besides ordering off of Amazon?  Basically, is there anyway to save me from my last minute self?  Haha!

    I don't know about anywhere...I've only seen them on ebay and on the amazon site. That's probably because it is an amazon product. Don't know of any stores that have them. I know Barnes and Noble sells Nook covers in the stores. Not sure if they'll fit the Kindle, but they're just as expensive.

  • You will be able to get them from Walmart soon but so far its still just Amazon. Amazon is fast with delivery (even if you don't have prime like me :))

    YES, I totally think the 3G is worth it. 

    ETA: I'm dumb, I just re-read that it's for Mother's day - nevermind - Amazon isn't THAT fast.

  • And Walmart now - I just went back to the Kindle FB wall and re-read what it said and it was starting this week.

  • Staples also has them.  And I agree go for the 3G especially if she travels a lot.  There are a lot of hotels that don't have free wi-fi anymore.  DH loves his Kindle, best gift I have EVER gotten for him.
  • we are getting my mil a nook color for mothers day. We hope she likes it!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • i read a lot on vacation so i needed something that would allow me to do that outside. i also stare at computer screens all day so i definitely knew i didn't want that.  those are the 2 major issues i had with getting a nook.

     therefore, i got a kindle and absolutely LOVE it :)
