As for whether you will enjoy the Kindle, I believe that you will find the Kindle to be clunky slow also. The e-ink will be clunky slow on any e-paper device, because of the limitations of the technology. Hello, Jennifer… been a while since we chatted. I appreciate your review; reading the comments has also been interesting.
No matter what you or any other reviewer states, I would still look at a number of other sources, as well as attempt to try the device in-person. Newspapers, such as the New York Times, often provide the illusion of objectivity which really means they do almost no in-depth investigation, and avoid offending the public by offering only watered-down articles with watered-down insight.
Instead, let each of us do her or his best to determine reality and then voice it, loud and clear. I believe that is what you have done in this case.
Thanks David! I think blogs have become more popular in this age of new media because they are more personal, and usually people are not afraid to voice their opinions, including commenters. If I can save even one person from the disappointment we have experienced, then I feel this post was worth it.
Hi, i have had a kindle. Let me tell you about my exprence with this device. Bought 7 kindle device under one month. All 7 kindle device froze on me. I had to call the company about my exprience. The only thing they told me it was because it was out of date. So i went to best buy because there was were i bought the kindle and told them what had happen to my device.
So they went and tray it for another kindle device. So what i did i open the box and buy all the information they ask for. I did it infront of one of the managers of best buy so he could see that i was not doing anything wrong it just froze in front of his eyes.
So he call the company and they told him the samething that they told me. About 3 hours trying to figure out what was wrong they offer me the Nook for free and gave me my money back from the kindle device. Let me tell you about it i had the nook about 10 months already and i just love it. I had no major issue with my nook. Plus every 1st and 3rd monday of the month 7pm to 9pm the employes from barns and nobles offer free class or a group gather and show you how to work and used your Nook device.
They are great and i live in houston tx. In christmas my husband bought me the ipad because he shaw that i had bought books from kindle. He also saw that i was upset about it because amazon would not give me a refound so that why he bought me a ipad, so i could download kindle application and i did.
When i download the kindle application all my books that i had bought were there. I also download the nook application and borders application. Let me tell you about my expreinces it been amazing. Its been a month now that i have my ipad and i have alot of books. I just love my ipad to dead. I also have education application like the tracing ABC and numbers for my 4 yr old twins dauther and this application had help them to improve there handwriting. There teacher are amaze with their handwriting.
Now im planning to give my nook to one of my nice because she loves to read and stay with the ipad. I love my nook buy i love more my ipad it is worth the cost. I came across this site searching for reviews for a ereader for my sons birthday. He already loves to read an ereader would make it easier for him to read all the more. Thanks for all the reviews and experiences. Your slamming of the Nook is unfair and outdated. The Nook has issued 2 software updates since your experience.
The updates make for faster page turns and worked out initial bugs. My son and I are happy with our Nooks and use them more than our iPads for reading books. If you are buying a dedicated e-reader for you child than Kindle is the best standard setting eBook reader.
Pearl technology and battery life alone suffice to go for Kindle than Nook. I agree completely! We have had not a single problem with the kindle, and the battery lasts so much longer than the Nook.
I dissagree compleatly. I have a nook color and i love it. I am I think the nook is better than the kindle because 1. Nook lend me feture flawless 2. More books 3. I can go to the BandN store any time and get help. Unlike with Amozon 4. The nook is just planly prettyer. The kindle keybord looks like a old coculater Thats why i picked Nook over kindle. I have been trying to decide between the two devices and came across this thread. At twelve, at child should truly be able to spell and write better than this.
Especially one who supposedly reads so often. I mean no harm, but my eight year old does better. No wonder our children are so behind in education. Any recommendations? The Nook is my perfect companion for my daily commute. I read the Times, Newsweek and other magazines as well as the books I have seamlessly downloaded. Regarding the crack in the shield: to my knowledge I have never had any device that had a crack in its screen, I have heard stories about these things happening but always due to mishandling the device, so I have my doubts on this story.
I also use the Nookbook to read stories to my 2 year old and he loves it dr. I am SO sorry you had so many issues with your nook. My daughter and her friends, my best friend, and I all have the original nook.
My mom has the color. None of us have had any issues at all. And let me tell you, we are pretty rough with our ereaders. This is no ordinary armoire. Like the pages of a C. Lewis novel come to life, this wardrobe takes the curious interloper to a world beyond—a fitting tribute to a classic novel as well as a striking metaphor for the power of a good book.
