Booking Through Thursday: Kindle E-Volution

E-readers like the Kindle and iPad are sweeping the nation … do you have one? Do you like it? Do you find it changes your reading/buying habits? If you don’t have one, do you plan to?

I got a Kindle about a year ago, and gave one to each of my two sons for Christmas presents. They used theirs more than I did mine. Until recently, I've used the Kindle only to read a few fairly short crime novels.

That changed with the very long book, 1Q84 by Murakami. The novel didn't seem very long while I was reading it on Kindle. In fact, I felt I breezed through all 900 plus pages, and now I am planning to read more of the author's books on the eReader. To show I'm serious about this, I downloaded his Norwegian Wood to start reading. I am now fully Kindle-hooked!

How about you?

Reading E-Books Online versus on Kindle, Nook, etc.

Here's a copy of a real book: The Merry Misogynist: A Dr. Siri Investigation Set in Laos (Dr. Siri Paiboun), which I hope to read soon. Don't know if it's been made into an eBook or not, but.....

I don't like reading books online.

Does that mean I definitely wouldn't  like the Kindle Wireless Reading Device,  the Nook, the Sony, or the iPad ? Though I don't enjoy reading books online, I was thinking a Kindle might be nice now that the price has been cut by almost $100, I think.  I'd hate to get one and never use it.

What's been your experience?
