[Levitron]

I'm thinking about grabbing an eBook reader to get my reading habits back into shape :)

Any of you guys have one, and what do you think?

[Spoon]

Bought my wife one a few years ago.

Pros:
saves space
portable
free books if you download for torrents

Cons:
can't beat the feel of an actual book

[ScizzMoney]

I've heard that the Kindle is better for your eyes than any other, including iPad. Something about refresh rate on other devices hurt your eyes over time compared to the Kindle.

[Levitron]

Yeah, not even considering the iPad.

Thinking about Kobo or Kindle, both are very good it seems.

[wouwou]

I bought a Kindle DX just 3 days ago from Amazon

I havent been reading for this long since I was 15ish. 3-4 hours nonstop reading, and not even a little bit tired.

that's at 4am in the morning.

[Jermyzy]

I'm waiting for an ebook reader that has some web browser capability too. When I was in Chapters, I saw them advertising one that they claimed has some web browsing capability, but I can't remember which one it is :p

[wouwou]

^get an Ipad for web surfing.

eink is NOT the best way to surf the web

[SkinnyPupp]

Audio books ftw :thumbsup:

[Jermyzy]

^get an Ipad for web surfing.

Well I play on using it primarily as an ebook, but would like it to be internet browser capable for just light, occasional use (e.g. checking email when on holiday). ipad seems overkill for my intent

Too slow.

That makes sense, I thought you mean to surf the web on bed or something.

Occasional use is acceptable on eink, but web surfing is NOT a pleasant experience,especially after you are used to using computers.

Bad idea. The #1 problem with people who don't read anymore is: distractions!

[taylor192]

My GF has a Kindle and she loves it. I have been skeptical cause of the price, at $399 there was noway I'd ever buy one. Now with the Wifi only version for $140 USD I'm sold. I plan to grab one next month in the US.

I have read on a tablet before and it sucks. The backlit screen is hard on your eyes, especially when it is dark.

if you are planning on reading mainly kindle books, the Kindle 3 will do fine, but if you also need to read PDFs, especially scanned PDFs, Kindle 3 won't cut it.

6 inch is just too small for pdf.

[Levitron]

I'm assuming Kindle would have access to the biggest collection of books?

[wouwou]

^that really depends on how law abiding you are.

[Levitron]

Haha...so I am assuming most of what's "available" for downloading through the internets is pdf?

[Vale46Rossi]

ipad imo.

no go until they make color e-ink mainstream

staring at the ipad is still the same as staring at a monitor

[ddr]

aren't magazines a large part of this technology and where the ipad excels?

[TheNewGirl]

I have a sony touch e-book reader and I love it to bits. I'm stuck at a comp all day for work so the LAST thing I want to do is read my books on a backlit monitor (like an Ipad or a netbook).

The e-ink really gives you the experience of looking at a page in a book. For an avid reader it pays itself off really quickly too. On average I read three to four books a month and I save about $5-10 a book (I read a lot of non fiction which doesn't come in cheap paperbacks) so I save myself $20-40 a month. The other handy thing is your book is never out of stock. If kobo or one of the other ebook sellers carries it you can get it when you want it.

I actually picked mine up initially when I was travelling a bit but packing very light, that way I could pack like 10 books in the space of less than 1 and not eat up my very limited baggage space. I think if you 1. travel a lot or 2. read a fair bit they're definitely worth while. For very light/casual readers not nearly as much.

[TheNewGirl]

I've heard that the Kindle is better for your eyes than any other, including iPad. Something about refresh rate on other devices hurt your eyes over time compared to the Kindle.

On any of the readers that use e-ink there is no "refresh rate" it holds a steady image on the 'page'. That's the advantage of e-ink over using something like an ipad.

[taylor192]

aren't magazines a large part of this technology and where the ipad excels?

Yes. Yet serious readers don't consider magazines "reading". :p

The iPad is good for magazines, cookbooks, kids books, and reference/text books/manuals cause it incorporates colour, quick indexing/search, and even other multimedia like videos and walk throughs. Yet one would argue if these are really "books" anymore.

[Manic!]

When looking at buying E-reader you want take a look at the features you want.

Some E-book readers will play more formats than others.
Do you want to be able to download via wifi or not.

[Levitron]

So with that in mind, what's the one with the most "open" format? I don't mind buying the books.

3G also isn't a big deal for me...wifi would be more important because I don't think I've ever been out of a wifi zone much.

[Levitron]

Any of you tried Nook?

[Nocardia]

Sorry to bring this thread back alive but I am wondering where we can actually buy a kindle?
Only via amazon.com? It says 7-9 weeks before it gets shipped :(
Any help is greatly appreciated

[NimbeeTT]

Best bet is Amazon.com, my friend just recently got hers off there and it took about 3 weeks to ship? And she lives in Vancouver.
She loves it.

Just keep in mind that the Kindle isn't really compatible with reading PDF's, that was her only complaint cause a lot of ebooks come in PDF form if you're dling them via torrents. The Kobo (from Chapters) is PDF compatible, it's 149$ with Wifi

I recently just got a Sony PRS650, i love it :)

[Presto]

PDFs and other formats can be converted to the Kindle native format, AZW. You just email it to your Kindle account (yourname@free.kindle.com), with 'convert' in the subject line.

That's right - got a lot of free PDF eBooks (Thank you Baen!) and then emailed them over to my Kindle that way.

[Levitron]

I got my Nook a while back and I love it. Free books ftw!

[DavidNguyen]

im starting to become mroe interested in these Ebook Readers.

ive only looked into the KOBO. price seems right and its reads PDF. its quite light and compac.

any others in this price range?

[LiquidTurbo]

HP Touchpad :troll:

[wouwou]

HP Touchpad :troll:

lol

I like what you did there.

[DavidNguyen]

thats if i can find one.
besides touchpad will probably be hard on my eyes

[!MiKrofT]

You do not wanna try and read an ebook holding the 1.7lb touchpad.

[Jermyzy]

What do you guys think about the new Sony PRST1 ebook? I know it's not released yet, but will be coming out soon. It's smallest/lightest ebook reader, the thing I like about it that you will be able to "borrow" ebooks from public library for free wirelessly. I was originally going to buy a Kindle ($115 with the ads) before I go on a trip in November, but I'm seriously considering this Sony instead. It's a little more expensive at $169 though, what do you guys think?

[NimbeeTT]

I have a Sony reader PRS650, the one without wifi 6" screen, and it's literally the best purchase ever.

I've tested other e-readers but the Sony one reads the smoothest to me. If the previous generation of Sony readers worked so well, I'm sure the one that's coming out with the wifi will be the same or even better. The price is pricier than most other readers, but I think you get what you pay for here for sure. It's compatible with every single format you can think of pretty much, so if you do download books you don't have to worry about whether it's in epub, pdf...etc. The touchscreen is really responsive too.

When I bought mine it was still $200 earlier this year (def a little overpriced but I still got it), so it's good that the price has dropped a bit. I highly recommend it!

[LiquidTurbo]

Reading on books E-Readers is pretty cheap.... but you know what's cheaper?

reading a book... from the library..

[Jermyzy]

^No thanks. I had a friend that brought some library books with him when we went on holidays. He was reading while taking a dump, and then dropped the book in the toilet...

Anyways, after spending the last couple days reading tons of review, it seems the Kindle is the most recommended budget ebook. However, I'm really liking the Kobo Touch. Seems to have a few minor quirks, but seems like the development team comes up with new firmware updates quite frequently. Will wait for the new Sony to get released in a few weeks first and see what the reviews are like, but I'm leaning towards the Kobo Touch right now.

[Senna4ever]

I would rather drop a $20 book in the toilet than a $200 e-book reader. :)

If you're not in a hurry, maybe you should wait until Amazon releases their tablet. If the rumours are anything to go by, it should be a good product.

[Jermyzy]

^Haha, the problem is not me dropping the book in the toilet, it's potentially handling a book that was dropped in the toilet by someone else :lol I'm going on holidays soon and want to have it with me for my trip. I can easily read 2 books in a day and don't want to have carry that many books with me. I'm against a tablet as I really want a dedicated ebook reader with good battery life and I hear that it's hard to read on LCD display

If the pages are conspicuously yellow or brown, then you might have a problem. lol.

I read books on my iPad quite a lot, and I personally have never experienced the fatigue that some people complain about regarding backlit LCD screens.

[SkinnyPupp]

I thought it would be annoying to read books on the ipad, but for me that hasn't been the case. I actually like turning off all the lights, and just setting the brightness to medium. I read for up to 4 hours at a time like this sometimes.

IMO it's better to get a multi use tablet like ipad or galaxy 10 or touchpad (:troll: ) than something that will ONLY read e-books. Besides. the e-ink on those things is blotchy and ugly, and you need ambient light to read them, so it's actually harder on the eyes IMO

[mos_skeeto]

Any of you tried Nook?

I have a Nook Color and it's running Android. $250 from the States but I got it off craigstlist for $200. It's not a perfect tablet experience but it runs comic books, ebooks, and angry birds well. I put Opera runs pretty good on it. However, if you start multi-tasking it like a 500 dollar Galaxy Tab then it might feel a bit slow.

Pros:
Cheap
Runs androids so you have all the google apps + compatible marketplace apps
Poor man's ipad
You can do more with a color screen (ex: graphic novels)
Good online support
Compact and light
Screen is very nice

Cons:
I ran into bugs periodically. Not sure if it's android, android apps or the custom firmware.
Battery life decent but not as good as iPad
Need to be a bit tech-savvy to figure out how to root, install android, tweak cpu and speaker max-volume
Not e-ink so reading novels aren't as comfortable as a cheaper ereader
No camera/mic for android apps like Skype
Honeycomb not stable so you have to use a variant of the mobile Android operating system

[!MiKrofT]

I had the nook color when it first came out. Got full android 2.2 loaded onto it. Ran like a champ for a cheap tablet. The ips screen is great. I would've kept it except I wanted gps and bluetooth connectivity. Got a constant 8 hours of battery life on the thing.

[taylor192]

If you're traveling somewhere sunny and warm for holidays, ignore everyone suggesting a tablet - they all suck in the sun (glare), and are significantly heavier than an eReader.

I loved my Kindle on the beach this summer. No glare, lighter than a real book, so I could lean back with some shades on and read all day without fatigue.

There's nothing wrong with a single purpose device, especially when it accomplishes its purpose far better than the alternatives.

[DavidNguyen]

yah the kobo touch has been on my mind for a while, but realized a new sony is coming out.

thing is i dont really like sony!

[Jermyzy]

Gahhhh...I don't know which one to get! :confused: I really want to get the Kobo Touch, but not sure if touch screen is a step forward or backward? (Some people say the touch screen does not respond well to page turning)

[taylor192]

Gahhhh...I don't know which one to get! :confused: I really want to get the Kobo Touch, but not sure if touch screen is a step forward or backward? (Some people say the touch screen does not respond well to page turning)
I think backwards. I hold a book or eReader by the edges, so it makes most sense to have the buttons on the edges. Plus who wants finger prints on their screen? With a tablet you sorta accept fingerprints, yet on a single purpose device I want to avoid them if possible.

That said, if there were buttons for page turning and a touch screen I'd take that. I think the keyboard at the bottom of my Kindle is a waste of space.

[Jermyzy]

^Looks like Nook or the new Sony would suit you! Anyways, I'm going to visit a Chapters to play around with a Kobo to see how I like it, and wait for the release of the new Sony before I decide, since I'm not leaving for another month.

[Levitron]

Why is everyone suggesting tablets with backlit screens? eBooks are good because they do not use backlit screens - the purpose of having eBooks is so that you can read them out in the daylight without having to turn up a backlight. It's not about reading it in the dark and having tired eyes from the screen....well, maybe a little but why would you read a book in the dark anyways.

Until they have the best of both worlds, such as Pixel Qi displays, then eBooks will still have a place.

Because some people (like myself) actually prefer a backlit screen over a non lit screen. To each their own, but being backlit does not automatically make your eyes tired.

Also, backlit e-readers are more useful, as they do more than just display books.

[Jermyzy]

Great, now Amazon has released the new Kindles!

$79 for the non-touch screen version, $99 for the new touch version. Apparently only available in the US, but if I order and ship to my US shipping address and bring it back to Canada (my Amazon account is in Canada), will I still be able to use it normally? Or does it require a US account (e.g. Nook)? Also, the touch screen isn't released til november and I'm going away next month...I'm wondering how difficult it will be to use the new $79 version that is non-touch and has no keyboard...

[taylor192]

It does (make your eyes tired/strained) - especially for people with astigmatism. But like you said, to each their own.

[Jermyzy]

Yes, it has wifi. It has a pop-up keyboard that you have to navigate with the d-pad. No worse than on my xbox :p

http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/kindle/tequila/dp/KT-df-05._V166940136_.jpg


Anyways, I'm sold on the non-touch model. I'm using it solely for reading, so lack of physical/touch keyboard is not a deal-breaker for me. I'll probably download 99% of my books at home anyways. Plus, I really need an e-reader before I go on holidays in October, and for $79, can't really go wrong! Worst case scenario I can upgrade to a touch later.

[taylor192]

Sweet!

I do not need the keyboard on my Kindle 3. I have only used it to type in my wifi password. I buy most of my books on the website, then sync the device. The few times I have bought books on the device it was another book in the series, so I could buy it with a couple clicks.

[Jsunu]

Dont forget the $79 & $99 price points are for advertisments included in the kindle. Add 20 bucks or so for the non-ad version.... or wait for people to hack the kindle again.

[!MiKrofT]

The Kindle 3 was garbage. So many screen issues. Hope these new ones are better.

Lots of users reporting cracked screens or ghost images.

i'm looking to get a kindle touch now, but its only for state. =[.. you guys think its worth it for me to ship to PR?

[Jermyzy]

^Yeah, why not? Super easy, plus you can get the Special Offers version and save $40 :)

I just ordered the Kindle 4 with special offers, should arrive next week!

[Narayan]

Lots of users reporting cracked screens or ghost images.

My wife has a kindle 3 and loves it... So much so we bought Grandma one about 2 months ago and she also loves it.

There will of course be issues with any electronic device but from what I have seen and experienced the Kindle 3 has met the needs of my wife and grandma just fine.

[3klipze]

I always thought it would be released in Canada as well for the kindle touch, guess not.

its like 109$ CAD for kindle 4 d-pad
99$ USD for kindle touch,

going to order the kindle touch ahah

[underscore]

shit, they have sub-$100 readers now? combine that with my TouchPad and my tech life just got a whole lot sweeter and lighter.

[3klipze]

^ kind of want the touch for the overall looks, and i prefer touchscreen

edit : 79$ 4way D-pad is only for US. so its in USD + shipping to US address only.. if you want the kindle d-pad in canada its 109$

edit2: so might as well get the 99$ USD touch kindle and ship it to TSB, it isn't that far driving down there. you pay the same price pretty much after tax

Yes, I ended up shipping my kindle to TSB in Pt Roberts. I ordered a non-touch one b/c I need one for my holiday in October, and I'm not a huge fan of touch screen.

[Jermyzy]

Quick update, I got my Kindle 4 nontouch and so far I'm very happy with it. Occasionally has some problems with the wifi, but after I turn the unit on and off, it's good to go

Glad you're liking your Kindle Jermyzy. Can't wait to get mine !

[Mr.HappySilp]

Sorry to bring this thread up but I am planning on getting a E-book reader.
Have been getting back into reading lately (read like 4 books in a month....).
Mostly I read Fiction but I don't mind reading non-fiction as well. Looking for something that isn't too expensive and needs to have WiFi for sure.
Try using an Ipad before and it just hurts my eyes after 30mins so or.
I would buy the books if it is good but wouldn't mind getting by other means as well.....perfer a bigger screen

[!MiKrofT]

You want an ebook reader that has a bigger screen than an ipad? That's not gonna be very hand held friendly. Your best bet is to get an actual reader that uses e-ink. Kindle DX is the largest you can buy with E-ink

[Mr.HappySilp]

[ddr]

affordable color e-ink.... come on...

[Presto]

I mean something big not like playbook..... I might even consider getting an used ipad2 now that the new ipad is out....

So the iPad hurts your eyes. Is there tech in the iPad 2 that resolves that problem? You want an e-ink reader. As !MiKrofT mentioned, the KindleDX is the biggest e-ink reader available now. The regular Kindle screen size is about the same size as a page in a paperback.

My wife has had her 2nd gen Kindle for a couple years, now. She loves it. All her reading is done on it. The battery life is insane. Purchasing new books is also ridiculously easy on their 3G connection. I've used it a few times, and it feels like you're reading a page out of a book. If i wasn't a cheap-ass, I'd get a Kindle for myself.

[underscore]

I just got a Kindle, the basic one without touch or 3G and I fucking love it. The screen is great, buying books is easy as hell and as I get tired I bump up the font size and so it's easier to read. Best $120 I've spent in a long time. I don't see any real benefit to the touchscreen imo, this way I can read one handed and I don't have to worry about smudges or scratches on my screen as much.

[Gh0stRider]

using my touchpad with android loaded on. works great

[ForbiddenX]

I'm trying to read a lot more now so I grabbed a Kobo eReader and so far it's been great! The page turning is a tiny bit slower than what I'd hope but I can't complain!

[iwantaskyline]

Recently bought a Kobo touch..fucking love it. It'll probably save me a ton of money. I actually prefer it over a real book.

[TOS'd]

bump

in the market for an ebook reader. anyone up to date with what is out there? anyone purchase one recently?

[Marshall Placid]

I have a Kindle and a Kobo and an Ipad.

Personally, regardless of which device I use, I really prefer the good olde paperback and even hard-cover books.

I tried Kindle: used it for 5 books.

I tried Kobo : used it for 1 book

But, Kobo was better than the regular Kindle since you can only buy the regular B&W Kindle in Canada.

The Kobo was the colour one and it was sufficiently bright.

But, I prefer good olde paper:
It's more tangible... and I love to collect books after I finish reading them (over 500 Fantasy & Sci-Fi since 20 years ago).

So... just in case, remember to keep your receipt.

[underscore]

I still love my Kindle, I like the physical buttons cause you can rear one handed and you don't get fingerprints on the screen. I got my girlfriend the Kindle Keyboard 3G and she lovs that as well, the 3G is nice to have available but she hasn't used it yet.

[Mr.HappySilp]

Got a Kobo and an ipad mini. Every since I got the ipad mini haven't touch the Kobo at all. I mena the Kobo is nice is lighter and actually is nicer to read on but the load time is way too long and it only reads. Ipad mini can do a lot more and read as well.

If don't you plan on reading more than an hour at a time I suggest getting an ipadmin or Nexus 7. Bigger tablets will be too heavy.

[TOS'd]

Thanks for the input thus far.

Marshall Placid: Which kobo do you have?
Mr.HappySlip: Same as above.

After comparing the different products, I think the Kobo comes out on top compared to the Kindle, Nook, etc.

It would make sense to get a tablet as it can do that much more, but in my case I am just looking for a stand alone.

It was the Kobo VOX, but it is discontinued.

[tgill]

It was the Kobo VOX, but it is discontinued.
Kobo Vox is not an ereader, it's a Kobo branded android tablet, has none of the advantages of an eink device. Extending reading on any traditional display is awful on the eyes.

Just picked up a Kobo Aura HD last week, 6.8" eink display (vs. Kindle PW, Kobo Glo, Nooks 6" format) but way higher resolution 1440x1080 so a very crisp 265ppi (vs. Kindle PW 212ppi).

Pricey but very nice ereader with an interesting ergonomic paper crease design on the rear.
