eBook Fail!

May 23, 2010 15:42

So I'm about to get an eReader (of some sort) when, as fate would have it, I come across an offer from Barnes & Noble for five free eBooks. Not just some random eBook from their vast collection, but recent bestsellers.

Neat deal, right? Sign me up. It can't hurt to actually get the books before I get the eReader, right?

Well, actually, it can ( Read more... )

Oh, wow! Epic FAIL.

Hmm. I still love and swear by my Kindle. I hear the Nook is basically exactly the same, except it's through B&N, but this post makes me think...maybe it's not. Having to physically go to the store would be a dealbreaker for me. We don't have any B&N unless you drive an hour.

If you consider the kindle at all, e-mail me (yes, I still live!) I have a possible proposition for you. :D

And so far as I know, you can indeed download wirelessly in Canada now, just like in the US! :D

By the by, AWESOME news that you are doing the BTR rewrite!

You're alive! :)

And it's not so much a rewrite as very minimal revisions that someone requested. Will email you :)

I love ebooks.com and kobobooks.com.. and there are some free books from kobobooks.com most of them are oldies (pride and prejudice, war and peace, but there are some newer ones too!)

I mostly read ebooks these days, I'm actually trying to wean myself off them, I was reading one + books a day. That puts some strain on the ole eyes. Plus I was reading of my computer or my iphone.

I love the ebooks. But I think the best solution is to get a Kindle or other ebook reader, maybe an ipad if that's your thing.
