Re: OMO .E Rearders Kindle
Good for you, I hope that it is enjoyed.
I like the Kindle format because it allows unpublished writers to get their work out there into circulation, also there are a great deal of fabulous old classics that are free of charge. If money were no object, I would have a Kindle rather than the Chromebook. The only issue I currently have with e-readers is the light, being an insomniac I will read until dawn on a bad night which is great for me, but the other half says that the light from the chrome book disturbs her sleep. Another good reason to get a small e-reader. |

Re: OMO .E Rearders Kindle
Bought my wife a Kobo last year. They are quite basic and the screen isn't as good.

Re: OMO .E Rearders Kindle
I was bought 3 books for my birthday. And I've bought books as gifts many times. This is where the ereader fails as you can't choose and give a book as a gift or lend a book you love to a friend in the same way.

Re: OMO .E Rearders Kindle
Daughter has a kindle. Waste of time. or probably my frustration with it. as I couldn't find a way to download all my pdf and epub books without "conversion" to mobi. and the conversions were not reliable. pdfs were at time unreadable.

Re: OMO .E Rearders Kindle
One advantage of the Kindle is that it will read Mobo format. I downloaded about 50 free books from the web in mobo and other formats to my PC and used Calibre on the PC to convert those that weren't in mobo format.
I then plugged the Kindle by usb into the PC which considered it as an external drive. I then copied the books onto the Kindle.
