Small, yes— but I love both and have probably read at least 10 books since October! Will eventually get an iPad so I can make use of both apps & more.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138892789522587978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691530149623240966.post-20700713332225004032011-03-10T18:06:27.795-08:002011-03-10T18:06:27.795-08:00Thanks, Morgan and Alex for your comments.

It's easy on the eyes and can be read even in bright sunlight. Also, lots of free books are available on Amazon, and you can share a book between friends.<br /><br />Morgan Mandel<br />http://morganmandel.blogspot.comMorgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691530149623240966.post-18522799739936346122011-03-10T05:41:52.414-08:002011-03-10T05:41:52.414-08:00Thanks, Witless!

Also, I like the look of my Nook page on the B&N site.Notes Along the Way with Mary Montague Sikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417679983279135001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691530149623240966.post-92154832315971853312011-03-09T20:18:33.619-08:002011-03-09T20:18:33.619-08:00I have a Nook, and I love it!

If you buy things on Smashwords, borrow e-books from the library, or want to find free public domain books out there, then a Nook is the way to go. You couldn't do these things with a Kindle in most places. As of now they don't read ePubs which are the industry standard. <br /><br />So that's my two cents for what it's worth!Witless Expositionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455282931743006892noreply@blogger.com
