eBook Reader comments [View all]

A DUer just posted an astoundingly positive review of her new Nook. My son has a Kindle that he loves. I just downloaded a book to iBook on my iPad (the original).

I like reading on the iPad. Although it's a bit heavy, the text is a breeze to read. I don't think this is e-ink, but I don't know what e-ink is, so I'm not sure what I might be missing.

The iPad was a (sort of) freebie, and I don't use it much; I'm a dyed in the wool desktop user. But it turns out I like reading on it. Granted, the first book I chose to read on it was 11-22-63, which was big, bulky, and heavy, and a bit of a pain to read in bed. On balance, I think I prefer books - and library books at that (can't beat free).

Anybody have experience will a number of ebook readers who can comment knowledgeably of what works, what doesn't, and why?
