Ebook readers: are they useful (worth buying)?
« on: May 14, 2010, 02:01:31 AM »
How useful are ebook readers? Are they worth buying?

I would appreciate to hear about your first hand experience... I checked some of them at the local store. But can you read an ebook for an hour on the subway without having a headache. :)

I am not talking about iPad, but basic ebook readers with 800x600 B&W display that cost around 200$.

I really didn't expect this sort of reply. But I definitely agree!

New technologies often focus on functionality but forget about the social and cultural aspect of what we do. You gave a great example.

On the other hand... Coming to a local library with a brand new ebook reader wouldn't impress anyone there? ;)

Still curious to hear experiences from an enthusiasted ebook user.
