The Seven Words That Will Kill Books

Played with the Fire and didn't care for it, I like the old Nook better. Haven't tried the new nook yet though, no reason to, the old one works and I hate chasing the "buy the new one cuz its newer" trend lol

I actually read mostly at night, sleep disorder so I do not have fun trying to fall asleep no matter how tired I am, so I read till I drift off. I do that on an ancient PDA with the backlight turned down low because light in the room would wake my wife, so reading on most things including actual books puts out too much light. When that poor PDS finally dies, I may be in trouble until I figure out the light/backlighting situation.

I bought it because I wanted some of the smart phone features without paying the monthly contract for a smart phone. I like having it on the treadmill because I can plug it in to the speaker and blast some pandora radio while reading the text enlarged... Im a multitasker what can I say... if I tried reading while running down the street, I'd be a dead duck lol.

I dont like chasing the trends either... I mean, I still have ancient flip phone on a phone plan that hasnt existed in years...

I do want to get an oldschool kindle reader for reading when not needing the other features or the backlit... the screen is hard on the eyes...

Hope your PDA never dies!

Hope your PDA never dies!

Thanks! Me too, but I'm nervous because its 10 years old now. I've used it for just about everything, it runs an old version of windows for pocket PCs so I have can write simplified word and excel docs on it, I can use it foe video and music as well. Handy thing when the body is tired and needs to lie down because its small enough that I can use it in whatever position is comfortable, and if I fall asleep and roll over onto it, it won't hurt it.

Kindles and Nooks have their place, a lot of people wonder why people that use them don't just get a pad or tablet, but not everybody wants or needs a tablet, and not everybody wants to pay for them. I have a galaxy tab that I use for business stuff, but it stays downstairs when I do to bed. Wrong tool for what I need to relax in bed.
