I'm rather excited about Peter Jackson filming the Hobbit right now. squee! Smaug is a mean dragon, so that's okay

Oooo, ebooks! Actually, you picked a good time to get an ebook reader. Prices are much lower than when I got mine. With any piece of electronics, you need to figure out what you want out of it.

Do you want to just read with it or do you want to do other things. Snarry has an iPad that can do much more than read ebooks. All mine can do is read ebooks, look at pictures (in black and white) and listen to mp3s (badly). But then again, mine was cheaper.

Although, if you do want a tablet like Snarry's, do me a favor and look into alternatives to the iPad. iPad can't do flash and you have to have Apple infect your computer with their software.

And remember, I have my sources for ebooks. Mostly fiction but a few surprises here and there.

Hmm, plain, I think. I don't like the ones that have so many features that it takes me a week just to figure out how to turn it on. :( Rather like Bry's PS3. Thanks!

Okay, just a plain ebook reader it is. Then you need to start thinking of other things

It's a forum for a bunch of ebook nerds and that's the "Which One Should I Buy" section.

It seems that Amazon charges you to use some of their online services. If you wirelessly download their books, they charge you $2 per book. So yeah, keep your eyes open as you look into an ereader.
