Is it still definitely Kindle, or has the Nook stopped being appallingly dreadful?

I was unaware that Nooks were bad. I've had mine (the discontinued Nook Simple Touch) for 2 years now and quite like it.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Aren't Kindles just regular tablets now? Is there anything that makes them better e-readers than say the Ipad?“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

Depends on the model. Kindle form factor (bigger than ipad mini, smaller than regular ipad) is more book like and will fit into bags a bit better. For a reader, the big difference is the integration into Amazon for e-book buying.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

I only buy my e-books from Google and use my phone or nexus for reading, so I don't think the Kindle is for me.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

The only difference is e-ink. Reading e-ink is much easier than reading LCD screens for some. But if you're getting an e-ink e-reader to read your e-books, that's all you're getting.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

No. They're not regular tablets. Black and white, slow update time on the screen compared to ipad and a totally different screen. Kindle is for reading, and you can do it outside. That is hard to do with ipad. And ipad is a multiuse computer, Kindle is book only.Originally posted by DaShi View PostDo not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.-Isaiah 41:10

I've always found e-ink tablets to be too clunky to really enjoy reading on. I like to highlight and make bookmarks and notes in my ebooks.Originally posted by Lorizael View Post“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.
