Why would I want to listen to music on it? Audio books - maybe but then audio books can be listened to on a huge amount of devices already. A screensaver/photo album? It's an eReader for heaven's sake. Colour touch screen - most of the books I read don't have pictures.<br /><br />The battery life could be an issue as well. It lasts 10 days IF WiFi is off. What if I listen to music during those ten days? I wonder how long it will last then? I wonder if those ten days also includes turning off the screensaver?<br /><br />I think the KOBO is still leading for me. It's an eReader and nothing more. The page transition is clunky but apart from that, it does what I need and does it for a long time - and I get 100 books (good books) pre-loaded. <br /><br />To get just an eReader, I'm happy to connect it to the PC to add more books and to recharge the battery. It also gives me the added security of knowing companies like Amazon and Co can't just rip back books I've purchased whenever they want.<br /><br />That's my two cents...BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170193722932454605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125812643147867559.post-13593921198747519342010-06-21T15:46:12.850-05:002010-06-21T15:46:12.850-05:00I'm still a dork for paperbacks ; ) Or a moder...I'm still a dork for paperbacks ; ) Or a moderately priced hardcover, which BORDERS has great sales for.
