ChrissySC Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I have a Nook, which is great in itself, but oh gees are some of the books way cheaper on the Kindle. I like the dictionary on the app. Anyone doing this for older children? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Or an Android? LOL It is only 200 on Amazon. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchara Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I have the Kindle app on my laptop, the kids' laptop, and my andriod. The kids love it. I think it's partially the novelty. ;) I'm considering trying to talk DH into getting DD one for her birthday, and seeing how many TOG books I can find for it. LOL We use it a lot for the 'droid, too. The kids read Aesop's Fables at bedtime, and DH can just take my phone upstairs to read it to them, rather than looking for yet another elusive book . (I always know where my phone is... not so much for books around here.) But, I won't be getting everything on Kindle. I got TWTM on it, and I regret now not just buying the book. I'm a big note taker, and I don't like not being able to flip to whatever I want at the moment. Plus, because of the size of my phone, I think, it's harder to keep up. So, yes, I use it, and I like it, just not for everything. For fiction and other things I wouldn't need to take notes in, it would be awesome.

kchara Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Oh, and when I buy something from the Kindle store, it goes to both laptops AND my phone, so they're all sort of synced together. Which is nice, if you're going back and forth between the three. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 The kids respond well to the reading? I noticed the notetaking feature (where I can say go look in KHE, LOL) and the bookmarks. I liked that a lot. Do you have a netbook? I was considering putting the kindle app on it as well. I am looking at the android tablet versus the phone. :) Everywhere we go has wifi, mostly because they are networks that I installed or tweaked over time, LOL. The portability is something I would love to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I put the Kindle App on all our computers/laptops/devices. I love having access to all my ebooks from anywhere. Speaking of which, I just ordered TWTM Kindle version a few minutes ago. I accidentally sold both editions of my book. I will be ordering the physical version as well. That's a book that is worth having in both forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommybostic Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I have a Kindle, plus I have the app on my laptop and on my Android phone. The only thing I will say is that the actual Kindle is WAY less tiring for your eyes because it's not backlit. Yes, color is nice, but if you read a lot, there is a definate difference, at least to me. I can feel it in my eyes, if that makes sense. It would be ok for use with reference works or in a pinch, but I recommend the Kindle itself. If you have wifi, you can get the $139 Kindle.
