I got a Kindle for my birthday back in November.  I got a $100 gift card to amazon.  Now to download some books to read.  I just love the kindle...I prefer it over the other ereaders out there.

I found out today that you can now loan books on Kindles too. It's limited to 1x per book, ever. Guess they're trying to compete with B&N!

Well, my son gave the Nook.  Now to download something that I like to read .  Not Dracula lol  None of the preloaded really interest me.  Will do it tmw.  Had a hard time getting through B&N website to register yesterday.  Decided everyone who got the Nook was trying to do the same!

I also got (for any crafters out there) a Cricut Expression machine  that came with 4 cartridges.  Haven't tried that yet either. Need to find a good place as it's home.

I don't blame you for that. With ebay, unless it's a verified, trusted seller, you don't know what you might get.

I think that really, it's just a matter of preference. Many companies have free books. The Sony reader store does, just like Amazon and B&N. I buy most of my ebooks from either fictionwise.com or booksonboard.com. They seem to have the best prices.

And for those of you who already have an ereader, fictionwise has all books on sale today for 50% off. Use code nov122010. All books except those published by Samhain.

Thanks for the info, I have bookmarked those sites for if and when .

I would rather have nookie  hysterical.gif hysterical.gif hysterical.gif

Homer, it's not 50% and if it were, it'd probably not be very good.

I think maybe my son got me the Nook.  He got a pakg yesterday I ck'd the return and it was B&N lol  I didn't say anything. Now have to wait and see if I was correct.

I was reading busines news about black friday sales and it said the e-readers are about as low as  will get , but you never know.  There were some on ebay but don't trust that method.

I think they all have their selling points..For me like I said I like the Nook share a book thing..and the freebies you get from the library..And the self changing battery..It costs about 60 bux to have amazon do the kindle..Best idea is to look at consumer reviews and comparisons and get the one that best suits your needs..GL..And check the sales coming for Christmas..You can find big savings there..

I LOVE my Kindle.  I take it with me everywhere.  Lots of free books available, both new and classics.  I have several web sites bookmarked that let you know the latest free books and some to purchase for five dollars and under.  I must think I'm gonna live to be a thousand years old, cause it is gonna take me that long to read all of those free and cheap reads!!!  Also, Being a Pogo lover I have downloaded a total of 8 games.  Some free, some I purchased.  My new fave is a word game called Panda Poet.  Lots of fun!!!  My Kindle was my retirement gift to myself and it is one of the best gifts I have ever received!!!  (Gotta go now.... I think I hear Jane Austen calling me... or is it Mr. Darcy???!!!)
