Ebook readers seem to be the accessory of choice. If you don’t have and ebook reader, you are behind the times. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Sony and even Macintosh has one. I did a 
Kindle
And I am sooo happy.
I had been looking for an ebook reader for some time and did tons of research before I purchased. I talked to my friends and family. And the Kindle was the most popular ebook reader.
My mom is not technically inclined, and she needed an ebook reader that was a breeze to use. She said she was using the Kindle within 5 minutes of taking it out of the box.
Nook
Then I went to Barnes and Noble to check out their ebook reader.
It was a teensy bit heavier. Now you might think that wasn’t a big deal. But I had done some reading on my mom’s Kindle. And holding it for a long time can make it a little heavy. But not so much as to be a deal breaker.
But I certainly didn’t want anything heavier. And I checked out Barnes and Noble’s battery life. Amazon’s ebook reader was the clear winner.
And the Nook can’t open Microsoft Word documents. I get a lot of work stuff that I review at home I needed an ebook reader that let’s me plop down in a chair.
The one thing I did like about the Nook was the book lending feature. You can lend a book to your friend by emailing it to them. It leaves your ‘library’ for 2 weeks and goes to their library.
Then it automatically returns to you after 2 weeks.
The Results
But I ultimately decided on the Kindle ebook reader because Amazon is such a big company. The amount of books they offer is growing so fast.
And I got my Kindle last week and I’m loving it. I’m a real book lover. I thought I would miss holding a book. But it’s so exciting having all my books with me and I can switch from one to the next in an instant.
So do yourself a favor and get a Kindle. (Or get one for your spouse or your mom) I promise you, you’ll absolutely love it.
