Anyone own a nook, kindle or other type of electronic reader

I keep hearing about them and probably wouldn't consider one until next christmas. My question is do you miss reading an actual book? I love to read, but wondered how it would be not holding an actual book, but a machine.

Do they hold all of your books? I sometimes like to read a book more than once, so does it store your books? I am assuming it does, but since I don't have one and have not done research I don't know.

Re: Anyone own a nook, kindle or other type of electronic reader

  • I'm going to download the Kindle app on my phone because DH gave me a $25 gc to buy kindle books.  I'm not sure how I'll feel about it...but at least it will eliminate the need to get to the library and remember to return my books on time.  My main "issue" is simply that I'm pretty much always home...when would I need to read a book on my phone?

    But to answer one of your questions...yes, it will store your books, so you can reread them as many times as you'd like.

  • DH is a huge book reader and had this same concern about getting a kindle but now he loves it. I also have a kindle app on my phone and have been reading when I feed Lucie at night so it's pretty nifty!
  • I have a kindle and in the beginning it was hard not reading actual books, but I love it now. 

    I also love that the books are cheaper for the kindle and I can get a new book whenever I want.

  • Thanks girls. I might think about asking for one for my birthday in September.

  • Looks like you may have already decided but I was going to second the Kindle! I love mine! The screen is non-reflective and it's not backlit, so it doesn't hurt your eyes and looks a lot like a regular paperback page. Big Smile

  • I use the Kindle app on my phone and I love it (although I'm not a huge reader). It's really convenient.
