Remember this post? Where I outed myself as a lover of books? A person who loves the weight and the smell and the turning of pages? Welp, now I’m considering breaking down and turning in my chips for an e-reader. Does anyone own a Kindle or a Nook and have any words of wisdom? Is one better than the other? I’m leaning towards the Kindle. Kind of wish I knew when the Kindle 3 was being released, though. I always seem to be the person who waits and waits to buy a fun new gadget only to have them release a new one as soon as I swipe my credit card.
You don’t need to “turn in your chips” once you buy an e-reader. You can still read books too.
I do both and although I have those absent-minded moments where I reach to turn the page on my Kindle or go to highlight a word in a book to see its definition it works out fine. :-)
Oh, and the answer to “buyer’s remorse” is to not “wait and wait”. As soon as you decide you want it and you’re happy you can spare the money, go and buy it. :-)
