Subject: I have an old Kindle. and I've been pleased with it. I'll pay whatever price for authors I love. I will try free things, but unless I know the author or it's been recommended I don't trust the 99 cent books so much. I love being able to download a free sample, though

[> I think I want a Kindle because all I would use it for is reading. But, I can buy books so cheaply at the ued book store in town that I haven't really have been able to justify the cost. Plus I like the feel of a book in my hands. I also worry about eye strain with a Kindle or Nook. I read about 5 books a week. I'm an avid reader. I carry a book where every I go. I read in the grocery line, bank line etc. -- Cathy F., 11:05:10 06/21/12 Thu [1]

[> [> Cathy, because there's no backlighting (on the Nook and Kobo at least), an e-reader doesn't give you eye strain. It's like reading a book, with the added advantage of being able to change the size and style of the font. It isn't like using a computer or i pad which really can be hard on the eyes. But if you aren't travelling much, or don't have to carry books with you, you don't really need an e-reader. (inside) -- Cece, 13:36:51 06/21/12 Thu [1]

One thing I like to do is read while lying down in bed on my side, and a book can sometimes be cumbersome holding it sideways. With my Kobo, I can just hold it sideways, and don't have to worry about the weight of the book, particularly if the book is fat and/or hard cover. Am I making sense? My bottom line though, is to pay full price for new books from living authors, (whether by hard copy or e reader)because they deserve to be paid for the fruits of their labour.
