    So, Nook is better than Kindle?

    And I love physical books but I have so many and being a literature major, lot of textbooks.

    I've not owned a kindle, but I am very happy with the nook color. However the new Nook black and white sounds like the perfect ereader.

    I want to get a new eReader. My Pandigital Novel is more trouble than it's worth. Its like a mini iPad, but it pisses me off. I might just give it to my sister and get a Nook or Kindle.
    have you read about the new Nook black and white's that are coming out this June? Unlike the last version they are touch screen. They are thinner then the Nook Color, have all the same functionality as the nook color, except instead of a color LCD screen it has a Black and White E-ink screen. Oh and it is only like 140. totally rad. I really want to see one.

    Hmm. No I haven't. Though, I'm not sure if I want a touchscreen. That is what pisses me off about the one I have now.

    Well the Nook touch screen is really good. very responsive. with the touch screen you can highlight stuff, facebook it automatically, etc. B&N has them set up in their store... go play with one.

    The current gen Nook Black and White are not touch screen and their prices just plummeted to like 110 or something? They are trying to get rid of stock before the new versions come in this week sometime I think.

    I want the new black and white, but you should go and play with them and make your own decision.

    The only thing is that the original doesn't have a backlight so you'd have to get a little light they have for it

    I might just tough it out with my Pandigital. The thing is awesome when it works.

    I just finnished Enders Game!
    image
    Wow! What a great book... I couldnt put it down. I don't understand how gulch did. I somewhat predicted the ending but was a little surprised by Enders discovery in the last few pages. It had occurred to me what he found out in the last 4 pages, however I didnt expect that to be just given to the reader. I thought it was going to be one of those things you would just have to wonder about.

    It made me wonder what books/series I would put in a top 10 must read sci-fi books for nerds. This book might crack the top 10. Anyways... Not stopping now. Going on to read the second book in the saga next

    I'm debating whether or not to get Clash of Kings on my ebook or a physical copy.

    GO EBOOK

    I WILL NOT BUY REAL BOOKS UNLESS I HAVE TO

    EBOOKS ARE SO MUCH EASIER TO DEAL WITH

    The only reason I'm debating is because I have book one as a physical copy and I like to have a series all the same edition, etc...

    I USED TO BE LIKE THAT UNTIL I MADE THE DECISION TO MOVE TO SF

    THEN I SOLD ALL MY REAL BOOKS AND ALL I HAVE IS EBOOKS NOW

    IF YOU HAVE NO PLANS OF MOVING AROUND REAL BOOKS FTW

    IF YOU PLAN ON MOVING AND TRAVELING A LOT EBOOKS SEEM TO BE SUPERIOR
