Amazon Kindle Stand

Buy a Nook, Amazon Kindle, or Sony Reader?

I'm wondering which one to choose. Could any of them read textbooks? What is the price of ebooks on each ebook reader? Can I read my own files on them? Which one is more stable and can stand for long time?

I hope I can decide soon so I can get it before the year end. Thanks.

I own the Kindle 2. If you ask me to choose again now, I'll still go for the Kindle instead of the Nook and Sony Reader, because I think the web browsing function is rather important (the Nook and Sony Reader does not have a web browser). The free internet (and now it is free international internet) plus the web browser allow me to look for information whenever I'm in need. It is really a cool feature that cannot be missed. And right now it is free for both the U.S. and many other countries, it is just incredible when you bring it to trip.

I like to use the text-to-speech function which is only available on the Kindle too, meaning that I can "read" with my hands and eyes free...

And I remember I read these reviews when I decided to get my Kindle:

And in case you don't know, Amazon has put a price slash on the Kindle 2 just before Christmas, and it added in international wireless access and native PDF support... So take the chance if you want it.

Hope it helps

Amazon Kindle Your Thoughts?

I am looking to get the Kindle 2 for Christmas, my husband said he would get it for me but I would like some opinions on it first. I like the look of it, it seems to be a perfect size for travel and everyday reading it would also save a lot of room on my bookshelves. Do you like the Kindle 2? Are there any features that really stand out? Is there anything that you really do not like or any glitches that you wish you knew about before buying one? Any advice would help! Thank you in advance for your time.

I own the Kindle 2, so let me give you some of my opinions about it. I've to say I love it! I think I've read over 30 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far!

One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I have the Kindle, waiting time like when I'm waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I've myself busy on some boring things, say when I'm on the step machine or doing some housework...

I like reading and at the beginning I did miss a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books... Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don't feel tired... And I now prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle rather than my never big enough bookshelf... And like to do bookmarking, annotation, dictionary lookup without any additional thing but a Kindle.

There are quite a lot of free books (tips: if you're outside the U.S. all the books will have US$2 added, but when you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable), and many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it:

Finally, in case you don't know, Amazon has just put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it is now selling $100 cheaper than the price I got my Kindle, and it adds in international wireless access and native PDF support... So take the chance if you want it.

Hope it helps
