Reading is my all time favorite hobby. Unfortunately with work, school and housework I never have that much time to read. I have about 15 books on my dresser right now screaming to be read! When the hubs and I go on vacation, no matter how long or short of a trip we are taking, I have my own book bag filled with books.
So I was thinking about purchasing the Kindle or the Nook. I hear the books are cheaper than buying them in the store and it would make traveling easier since I wouldn't have to lug around my bag of books. I am not sure if I would use it though. Even reading blogs on the computer makes my eyes hurt after awhile and I'm not sure if staring at a book reader would do the same. I also love going to Barnes and Nobles and buying books. I think I would miss that if I had a book reader. Does anyone have one? What are your thoughts on it? Is it a must have? Let me know!!
I don't have one and I am sure they are great but there is nothing like actually turning the pages on a book so I don't think I am going to give in to the kindle
ReplyDeletemy MIL has one and just LOVES it!!
ReplyDeleteI am crazy about reading and I could never replace an actual book with something electronic. That and like you said, looking at screen is bad for the eyes. Just ask mine. Never had a problem with my vision in my life and BAM! the first year I blogged I had to get glasses cause I'm nearsighted. Not a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my Kindle. I am a book fanatic--I love the smell, the feel, the sight, of a book. And honestly? The Kindle disappears into my hands & I don't even notice it's not a real book. I suppose that could also be in part to me just getting completely lost in whatever it is I'm reading as well ;)
ReplyDeleteMy sister in law has one and she LOVES it but I love to read but theirs nothing better then buying a book at the book store and having that new book smell and the nice crisp pages I love how none wrinkly the book is and when I finish it its like bent and there's crises every where..lol...
ReplyDeleteMy old roomie has one and she loves it! I actually just saw it last night and it's pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteI don't have either, but I've been craving one like you wouldn't believe. My bro in law just got one for his birthday and already he loves it. I think they've gotten pretty good reviews.
ReplyDeleteI wanted one when I saw them before Christmas, but after thinking about it, I don't want one. I like buying a book, then keeping it my own little library. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE going to B&N too but right now I'm itching for a Kindle. I have to do so much reading and research for the marketing plan for my manuscript so the books are piling up. And its not books that I need in a library setting, just things I "have to" read if I want to stay up to date on the market.
ReplyDeleteIf I got one I'd still buy a lot of regular books. That would just suppliment and be for "work." Maybe that's how I'll justify spending that money :P
I've thought about it - I can't wait for textbooks to be on those!
ReplyDeleteA) I don't have a Kindle but I have the ap on my IPhone and I like it for easy, chic-lit books. But I LOVE to buy books so if it is a more "serious" book, I will have to go shopping!
ReplyDeleteB) I am so awful at keeping up with who follows me so I just am now getting over to your blog! Love it! Super cute! and I am now hooked!
