OT ? ebooks, nooks, kindles et al

My other half got a kindle about a year ago, loves it. Soo... we both got the new wifi only model about 3 weeks ago. It's black/charcoal and we got the covers that have the lights in them. We got the wifi because we have wifi here at home and wifi is available everywhere. Ours are connected, we use the same account, therefore we can share books, One thing that I have found is that we do a lot of audio books on car trips and I downloaded one of the audio books to my kindle and it plays the same as it does in the car. I thought that it would use the synthesized reader voice that the kindle uses. I was surprised. I get a lot of free books, I did buy one for

89 cents last night.

I hold it just like a book and find myself trying to turn the page.

We gave the older kindle to his sister and she is thrilled.

Just my two cents.

I haven't heard of manybooks. I'll have to check it out. Same with you about making a choice, although when extra batteries were available, we bought two. Now, if we ever have to use them I have to be brave and open ours up to replace them.

Thanks for the link.

I use Kindle on my IPod (touch). It's not exactly like a book, but the BIG advantage is portability. The gadget weighs next to nothing and fits in my handbag. (and contains all the other nifty apps in case I want a break from reading) The "page" is about the width of a newspaper column, it has adjustable font sizes, good back lighting, and it works well for anything that doesn't have pictures or charts.

I have an Ipad, had it for about 4 months. Find it very useful when DH says just check me this out online. It saves me going upstairs to do so and since DH bought me a new wireless printer for Christmas and I can print from my Ipad. I have had a few surprised looks from some of the younger generation. When I had my eyes tested I explained I wanted glasses to enable me to see my computer and Ipad better since progressive lenses were not ideal. The young man was astonished that I had an Ipad and wanted to know how I got on with it.

Then I went for a new cell phone and yet another young man. I chose one with the QWERTY key pad. He said you can use a special pen with it. Oh said I like the one with an Ipad. Yes said he have you got one. Oh yes said I and his mouth dropped. He said he was surprised that someone my age had got one. I shall be 75 on the 11th of this month. I told him that since we were old did not mean we were gaga saying it with a smile.

That is the one place I don't read my ebook! I don't think all that foamy water would do it any good at all :-)

The tub is the one place I don't use my Kindle. I use old-fashioned books for that.
