If any of you guys visit technology blogs, a lot of posts report about new models of e-book readers almost every week. So yeah, it's very tempting. T-T Cause I'm such a book geek... lol I'm thinking of getting an e-book reader...

I was originally just choosing between the Amazon Kindle and the Sony Reader Touch, but with the newly released (and might I add, sexy looking) Nook from Barnes and Noble, I'm leaning more unto the Nook.

Actually, the Kindle is at the bottom of my list cause it looks dull and I heard Amazon can delete your books. So yeah, sucks. And my only problem with the Sony Reader Touch is that Sony doesn't ship it internationally. So it's hard to get one. Unlike B&N which ships internationally, hence I can easily get my hands on the smexy Nook.

The thing with Nook is that it's just new and it's still in pre-order status, so at the moment I can't really read detailed reviews about it.

Does anyone here own any of these? Or any e-book reader at all? Come tell me your opinions about it. Also if it's worth buying an e-book reader! I know classic paperback is still the best option, but I'm really the type who reads a lot and switches back and forth 3 (or more) books at once... so I'm guessing having an e-reader will make it easier for me. biggrin.gif

I have a Kindle DX and I love it. It definitely helped me read more, since it's easy to get new books (as long as you have the funds to supply for them x_x). As for Amazon deleting your books, that happened once because of issues with the publisher and it's not like they'll just delete your book and not give you a refund (they gave refunds to everyone and I think gave people more money afterwards). Anyway, that's definitely not something normal and I think other e-books would have done the same in that situation. I guess if I had just the Kindle and not Kindle DX, I'd have more options now (Sony reader, Nook, iriver, etc) but Kindle DX is the only one with that big a screen right now I think.

Oh and it sucks butt when you want to read something and it's not available yet on Kindle sad.gif
