Newmy Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 So, this Christmas I was bought a Sony E-Reader PRS-350. For those of you who dont know what an E-Reader is I'll explain; It's a touchscreen tablet that you can save books onto and read from. It's a pretty good present for me as I do a lot of reading and on my last holiday had the glue on the spine of the book melt, leaving me with about a thousand loose pages in a bag. There are a few options you can go for such as the Kindle, Sony, Pocket books and even an iPad if you're mental. I was just wondering, what's your opinion on E-Readers? Do any of you have them and which one do you prefer? Quote
Thrill Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I'd prefer to hold a book, but if you want to change that you can obviously go electronic. I don't see what's wrong with books personally, although with these you cna have all your books in one device, which is good Quote
Shaunno Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I agree with you thrill, the advantage with that however is that you can have hundreds of books in your pocket with that thing probably more Quote
ford1001 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 But there is nothing as good as reading a good Book, like new book smell Quote
McDaddy Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 i dont do much reading but if i did, i would read out of a normal book Quote
Scotteh Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I like them, some have backlights so you can read them in all kinds of light and it's not harsh on the eyes at all. So good to chill and read in bed or wherever. Quote
Richio Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I like to show off with my collection of IRL books so I'll stay like that? Quote
ford1001 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I like to show off with my collection of IRL books so I'll stay like that? yeah, i love being able to have a room full of books, i guess i could have a room full of e-readers Quote
Henrawr Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I like to show off with my collection of IRL books so I'll stay like that? I think it's more about enjoying reading than being able to show off. Quote
Richio Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I think it's more about enjoying reading than being able to show off. 2 in one, my friend :L Quote
