I ...Yeah, I've had all those same thoughts. :)<br /><br />I did a full review of my Kindle here:<br />http://gabwagon.blogspot.com/2010/02/kindle-report.html with all the pros and cons, and my friend with the Nook is at shannonstacey.com. Though I'm sure you could find user reviews of the Nook via Google--I don't think Shannon even has hers yet.Natalie J.

It's a great application and the backlighting allows me to use it in dark conditions, but I'd be willing to give that up in place of a larger unit that doesn't cramp my hands. I've considered the yet to be released iPad which could fill many needs/desires, but I think e-ink would be much more pleasant. <br />It's good to hear about your Kindle experience. I will give them another consideration.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992490820391698687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617199.post-71065033365706569842010-02-21T15:11:05.207-05:002010-02-21T15:11:05.207-05:00Hi, Chango!

The screen flicker is quick enough that the ink has changed in the time it takes me to go from the bottom to the top of the screen.<br /><br />A friend just ordered a Nook, and said a software update has made that screen flicker faster, so hopefully it's tolerable now.<br /><br />Do you read e-books on something different? Or stick with paper?Natalie J.

But I didn't like the size of the eBookman, which has a bigger screen, so I have to figure I wouldn't like the size of the iPhone. BUT I bet it wouldn't be that hard to adjust to, with the right motivation. :)Natalie J.

That would drive me nuts. I read on my iPhone and LOVE it. LOVE. Yes, the screen is small, especially since I crank up the font, but the screen changes without distracting me, and I like the back-light. I've not read in daylight, outside, but I still do have enough real books to keep me happy awhile. But all my new purchases are on the phone.MJFredrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881706931355203700noreply@blogger.com
