Do you have an ereader?

i guess when my generation dies out, the libraries will too. The bookstores are already dying. When I can't get a book at the library, I like to buy used books from Amazon (see, it's partially my fault) Next, when I'm finished with the book, if i can't resell it, I share it with friends and family. If no one wants it, I donate it to the library..

Libraries are dying because their funding is drying up, not because the media are changing. Libraries evolved pretty quickly to rent/lend VCR tapes, then CDs and DVDs. If they're not already renting or lending books on copy-protected chip, they will be soon - the libraries that survive the next round of funding cuts, that is.

DH talked me into the nook, now HE uses it all the time and i just read the same book on my ipod touch (once its downloaded to our b&n acct he can have it on his nook and i can have it thru the ereader app on my ipod). the ipod touch is backlit.

i thought most of the books would be $9.99, but so far everything i've wanted has been more than that. so i'm still using the library. i got john wilcockson's "lance" book at the library--b&n wanted $20!!

but it is very convenient, anywhere you have wifi access. when you finish one book you just get another, or when you hear of a new book you can get it right away (i got the two "deadliest catch" skippers' books).

and you can lend the downloaded "book" out to a friend for 14 days! maybe we could start a share club right here!

I checked out the Nook at a local store this afternoon. Nice, the screen is smaller than the newest Sony Daily Digital Reader though... that may not be an issue. I like the contrast on the Nook a little better.

I bought neither, decided this probably isn't the best of times since I have a fitting for my LHT later this week and there will probably be other expense to at least move the shifters - if not the bars and switch to a new shifting system totally. I will continue to consider it though - I DID enjoy having one around, they are useful and you don't have to worry about the size of book that you might be carrying.
