I also have a Nexus 7 but my Kindle goes to the pool, beach, airplane, etc with me because I can read it in full sunlight! Plus, I like that I'm not straining my eyes to read it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1147029 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 19:56:28 +0000 nana87 1147029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one of the first kindles but I stopped using it After i got an iPad mini as a gift-- I use the kindle app on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1147013 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 19:44:23 +0000 ladybee 1147013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Kindle Fire. I like it and am happy with the e-reader part of it but I don't care for the tablet part. I'd get the Paperwhite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146865 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 16:45:20 +0000 Honeybee 1146865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an old Kindle; DH has a Nook Color.</p> <p>I think I would like an Android tablet (maybe the Nexus?). That way I can download both the Kindle and Nook apps so I can read all of our e-books. I also read a lot of e-books from our library, so I want to be able to download the Overdrive app. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146858 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 16:34:14 +0000 Penny Lane 1146858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got the kindle touch and I love it.

While nursing I got hooked on just reading books on the kindle app on my iPhone and never really switched back - library and purchased. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146774 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 14:33:58 +0000 joyjoy 1146774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have both a Nook tablet (it was a gift) and a Kindle (the small one without a keyboard at came out just before the paper white). I love and use them both regularly. The Kindle is more comfortable to read because it's more like paper, but I find I use the Nook more often because the free book selection is so much better. I use the kindle mostly for library books since whispernet is more convenient than side loading to the nook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146714 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 13:02:59 +0000 ALV91711 1146714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just recently got the kobo aura hd. I really like it. I mainly read library books on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146706 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 12:31:41 +0000 loveisstrange 1146706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: iBooks is super easy to use. It read ePub and PDF files. I like it because I can hold my iPad sideways and flip pages with my finger like a real book. I also like that it's backlit and I can set it in night mode and turn the brightness down, which makes it so I can read in bed without bugging DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146684 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 11:22:14 +0000 Ginger333 1146684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a first generation Kobo and after three years, it has a dead pixel spot which is small but annoying enough for me to want to upgrade. I got a Kobo Glo and I LOVE it.<br /> I hate reading on my tablet, even at it's dimmest setting it's too bright. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146633 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:33:42 +0000 yin 1146633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I'm not too sure about the details, but I know DH mainly uses the kindle app when he borrows ebooks from the library. He reads PDF's as well (camera and car manuals.. Haha). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146631 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:30:21 +0000 lavender 1146631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an older kindle w/keyboard and have no complaints, fits my needs and able to download library books </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146620 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:08:26 +0000 bunnylove08 1146620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: you can download the kindle app or nook app and read books on the iPad. iBooks uses the ePub formatting and I believe you can read PDFs off the iPad too. I love it because I do my reading at night in bed and thereof don't need an additional light source </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146618 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:07:25 +0000 Lindsay05 1146618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the kobo glo. It does its job. I am reading my first book on it now and its a library book. I took it out in july and still have it (i never get to read!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146606 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 09:45:25 +0000 Happygal 1146606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kindle Paperwhite, and I love it! I can easily read it at night in bed. I like that I don't have other applications to tempt me away from reading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146604 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 09:41:28 +0000 regberadaisy 1146604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: @yin: @bunnylove08: how do you like the iPad for reading books? How does iBooks work? Can it read PDFs? My library only offers Kindle, ePub, or PDFs for their ebooks</p> <p>I have a iPad mini my brother got me for Christmas last year. It's weird but I'm afraid to bring it on the train! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146431 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 00:53:31 +0000 loveisstrange 1146431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use iBooks and read on my iPad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146420 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 00:27:19 +0000 lemondrop 1146420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just the old school Kindle (second generation), which I'm perfectly happy with. I use the app on my phone more often though since I'm either reading in the dark at night or on the go and don't have the Kindle with me. I know I can, but I haven't tried library books since I'm a big re-reader, so I usually buy. I'm curious about the Paperwhite, but that won't happen for us anytime soon with finances and a new baby coming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146372 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 23:13:42 +0000 twinmama 1146372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We first got a nook color, and now have the nook hd+. The hd+ has a big screen and a fast processor, and we actually use it more than our computer for internet bc tablets are easier with the kids. We got it on a fathers day target sale for $149. Really happy with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146350 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:37:41 +0000 yin 1146350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH uses kindle app on the iPad mini, and it meets all of his specifications (he is pretty picky). Bonus -- it's a full fledged tablet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146346 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:30:51 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1146346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I share the Kindle Fire. I think that it is versatile in its uses and it has nice gadgets. I didn't want one, but dh got it and now we both use it regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146329 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:02:24 +0000 shinymama 1146329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kindle Fire; love it; free birthday gift; and I think so. I wouldn't trade it for another type because I love the display, touchscreen, and that it's half tablet, half reader. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146318 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:47:53 +0000 pregnantbee 1146318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No suggestions about which one to buy, but if your library uses OverDrive for ebook lending, you could check out library books on almost any device. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146309 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:43:43 +0000 bunnylove08 1146309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my I pad mini and phone.

I want my keyboard to just die already so I can upgrade. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146301 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:34:54 +0000 mrs. 64 1146301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: DH goes to bed early and I read with a book light or flashlight if I'm on my nook or just the backlight of the tablet if I'm using that. I still find the tablet too bright even if it is at the dimmest setting. I haven't tried out a paperwhite, but I'd like to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146295 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:27:26 +0000 pui 1146295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I should add if you're going to get a "Colour EReader" (IE a tablet) just get a regular android tablet. Much better bang for your buck and you can still read ebooks on it. I personally like the e-ink much better for reading though. The paperwhite is a completely different (better) reading experience than a tablet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146293 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:24:29 +0000 mrs. 64 1146293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have the original B&amp;W nook. It is starting to act clunky, like sometimes it won't download books that I've purchased. It is pretty old so that is to be expected. Lately I've been reading on my google tablet, but I like the eInk sooo much better. I'd love a Kindle Paperwhite but I feel like it's wasteful to buy that when I already have the tablet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-e-reader-do-you-have#post-1146282 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:14:16 +0000 pui 1146282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kindle Paperwhite. Before that I had the Kindle Keyboard. Before I bought my new Kindle I read a ton of reviews comparing all the top contenders and for me the Paperwhite came out on top. I love it and use it every day!! There are programs that can convert any ebook filetype into another easily. Check out Calibre. </p>
