If anyone was still looking for an ereader

Now is a great time to check out the Borders sale. Kobos were $56 when I was there last night. They're supported by Kobo, a Canadian company, not Borders so it doesn't matter that they're going out of business. And they work with library books.

Re: If anyone was still looking for an ereader

  • ohh, I'm am definitely checking that out this weekend!!

    Though do ipad's supports e-books?  Maybe i'll just wait until I get an ipad.

  • I might get one for my mom for xmas!  I need to go check and see if they can be ordered online...

    ETA:  The 2 stores that are still open by me are sold out...Sad

    Yes, iPads support ebooks, you can download the Kindle, Nook, and Overdrive apps. Overdrive is the app for library  books on an iPad/iPhone. I LOVE my iPad, I seriously take is everywhere and am always reading on it. Overdrive and my state library's ebook lending have kept me occupied all summer. Overdrive also supports audiobooks, so if your library has those available online as well, you can check them out too!

    Kate, thanks for the info about the Kobo, I am definitely going to have to look into this and see if I can pick up one or two for Christmas gifts for my MIL and mom.

    If you wanted me to grab you one, my store still has them. They all are black and the wifi version (not the new touch ones) but they're down to $40.

  • mine was out of them too...but if the ipad supports it, I"ll just wait!

    Kate, would you be willing to pick me up one or two? I tried calling the one Borders here today and they didn't answer, I'm wondering if they are already closed, I'm going to call again, but if they are out I'd like to at least get one for MIL for Christmas, she reads a ton and she's shown interest when I tell her about my iPad ereading.

  • Yes, no probelm!

    I'm fairly certain it's this one: http://www.amazon.com/Kobo-eReader-Black-Wireless-eBooks/dp/B00519FBTK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315019940&sr=8-1

    I think they only had black ones left.

    This is the one I have and I have no complaints. And the Kobos come loaded with 100 free classics so you don't have to buy books right away to make it work, which is nice.

    Just let me know exactly what you want and I'll grab them.

    Awesome, thank you so much! I'm going to call our store tomorrow morning and see if they answer this time and maybe I'll take a drive out there and check if they don't answer. I'll let you know what I find and if I need you to grab me a couple! You are so great!

  • I bought a Kobo back in March and love it. They have a touch screen version now, but mine's not touch screen but I don't care.
