What is on Your Mind?

I am currently reading a book using the Samsung Galaxy Tab. So far it has been a good experience.

I went shopping for an ebook reader yesterday I just wanted something simple with e-ink technology and built in wifi for internet access Since they don't sell kindle here I went for the next best thing, something called keyreader(greyscale) with everything I wanted including free download and access to large collection of ebooks at our public library. The price tag quoted to me was $430

I think for less than $350 these days I can get an multi function android tablet that probably comes with ebook app but tablets use tfp displays not e-ink technology.

I'm at a loss what I should do?

Why do you want that?

It seems like that would only be an advantage if you read really, really fast and practically non-stop, or you don't have a computer with internet access.

I download to my Sony Reader via a USB cable from my PC. There is no difficulty, in fact, my problem is that I acquire good stuff to read at a faster rate than I read. And I'm sure that finding books with my browser on a PC is a better experience than trying to browse on the small screen--especially if I were limited to one company. I like to scan multiple web sites.

My kindle has wi-fi and I would not be pleased if it didn't. I wish everything had wi-fi. My TV and my Blu-ray player and the last things that still need network cables. I am considering my options for wi-fi adaptors for them. I do read rather fast but if I were to slow down I doubt that I would grow to love ethernet cables running around my apartment. Wi-Fi is fast enough for HD video with 5.1 surround sound. I watch a lot of movies that way. I look forward to the day that I throw out all of my ethernet cables. My TV is 148 lbs and I still don't like that ethernet cable. There is no way that I would tolerate a cabled kindle. The whole kindle vibe is based on portability.

As for the user interface, on my laptop (wi-fi) I browse Amazon looking for books I might like. When I see one I send a free sample chapter to my kindle (or schedule it actually). At some point I pick up the kindle, turn it on receive my samples and start to read them. Sometimes they suck and I delete the samples. But if I liked the sample chapter, it's just a very few clicks to buy it and get it on my kindle. I really don't want to go get my laptop, fire it up, plug in my kindle, etc. As things now stand, I can continue reading past the sample chapter in just a few seconds.

There are also daily publications available for the kindle on a subscription basis. I don't subscribe to any. If I subscribed to a newspaper I would want it as soon as it was available. But I wouldn't want my kindle tethered to a computer.

Thinking I'm going to have to try one out, only thing stopping me was I worried it would bother my eyes.

I have the first Kindle and love it. I now prefer ebooks wherever they are available. A shame (and kind of ironic) that there's still a lack of IT texts on Kindle/Apple stores.

There are many other sites which are offering discounts and many other coupon there.But the most important thing is to know the best store there.
