Barnes & Noble’s new Nook e-reader is getting lots of favorable reviews vs. Amazon’s Kindle e-reader. And the Nook won’t be on sale until the end of the month. I won’t go into the details. You can Google the reviews written by the experts.
I use the free “e-Reader” app on my iPhone. I have found free book sites and have been reading books from those sites. I did not think I would enjoy the reading experience on my iPhone (I have a large paper library). However, I find I can read faster and be just as absorbed in a book on my iPhone. A simple flick of my thumb across the screen turns the pages.
My prediction is that e-books are the wave of the future for many readers. The portability, ease of use, and instantaneous selection of books to download makes them perfect for people who like to read on the go. I am half way through reading War and Peace on my iPhone. I love having War and Peace in the front pocket of my blue jeans and a library of other free books.
