I went with the Sony because of its immediate availability and because of the specially formatted Google books that work so well with it. I've found some Civil War memoirs, via Google, that were written in the late 1880s that are truly outstanding to someone like me. I'm loving the Reader so far...Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-57718115916171378222009-11-18T22:37:07.447-06:002009-11-18T22:37:07.447-06:00You could've bought a brand new nook for less ...You could've bought a brand new nook for less than that. :(Janda/Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16754631494233387294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-74781803433753443082009-11-18T15:19:30.292-06:002009-11-18T15:19:30.292-06:00I think your husband is correct when it comes to d...I think your husband is correct when it comes to dollars and cents, Kristy.<br /><br />I did decide to go the other way, though, and I've been playing with my new touch reader for the last three hours or so. There are so many neat features that I think I'm going to be able to convince myself that it was worth spending the extra money. Sure hated to see my old reader go, though, because Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-72059758218076501682009-11-18T15:10:03.169-06:002009-11-18T15:10:03.169-06:00Hey Sam...let me know what you decide.

The way my husband broke it down to me...I'm better off getting the free upgrade and then buying the newer model if I'm not happy because then I have more for my money this way than if I just sent it back and spent more money to get the newer model and then only had the new model to show for it. IE: My old model is surely worth more than $50 to $Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698125217063243808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-71070086982150547052009-11-18T08:58:05.651-06:002009-11-18T08:58:05.651-06:00Gaston, I haven't seen one of these in action ...Gaston, I haven't seen one of these in action yet but I've read comments from several people wishing that it did have a backlight - so I'm assuming it doesn't have one. Some have said that it reads more easily outdoors or in natural light because of that. I'll find out this morning, hopefully.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-36564101897741404502009-11-18T07:54:53.343-06:002009-11-18T07:54:53.343-06:00This looks good but I think I still prefer my Kind...This looks good but I think I still prefer my Kindle with no back light so I can read it anywhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813508472498593787noreply@blogger.com
