My friend purchased a Sony reader and bestowed her iPod Touch on me. Best ereader in my opinion – a free one.
She gave me the iPod Touch because it required something that many of us are in short supply of, discipline – too many games. I have to admit, I’ve been playing games on it more than reading but I am declaring a moratorium on games.
I have to say, I do like the fact that I don’t have another device to throw in my purse – it weighs the same as a small car as it is. I like having my music, podcasts and books all to hand (oh yeah, and the games). The reader is backlit, true but I don’t have a problem with eyestrain so it’s not a problem for me.
I have four reader apps downloaded so I’m device independent, Kindle, B&N, e-reader and stanza seem to be enough to manage all the books I want to read. I do have 5 paper books and 2 books on my BlackBerry that I can’t move to the Touch – future books will all be on the iTouch though.
That’s my take on the e-reader. Now back to publishing.
