blessedx5 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) I want something I can access the FREE books that are online..... SCM free ebooks, Gutenburg project books etc.... But I also want something smaller than my laptop that I can read things online with (blogs,message boards etc...) Also looking forward to listening to Pandora radio on it... Is this Nook Color going to give me what I want? I guess the only apprehension I have is inability to download anything from Amazon...which seems to have better pricing than B&N..

SailorMom Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yes - However, I do not believe it is the best choice if most of your activities will be reading. The big drawback to the Nook color is that it is still a back-lit screen - which causes eye strain. The regular e-readers use the e-ink screens which are not back-lit and have the same reflective properties as paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessedx5 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Probably won't read on it a ton because I am too fond of REAL books :001_smile: but for the FREE books online such as at Gutenberg I would use it for that. I also want the online access it provides compared to the Kindle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoxcell Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yes it would work for what you want. I have one and I love it. Also it does not bother my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annlaura Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Love mine! I go on the laptop or desktop maybe once a week. And as much as I love physical books, I was surprised to discover I really love reading on my nook too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewish Mama of 4 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 We just got 2 Pandigital eReaders and LOVE it :) It is a lot cheaper than Nook Color. We can use it to get on the internet and we use it for Netflix (there is an app for it). We also use it for the kids to watch movies, and read books on in the car (from memory cards). It is an android, so you can use any android app on it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessedx5 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 so are the pandigital readers color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I just posted this on the tablet thread too, but dh got the nook color and converted it to an Android tablet. It is much more versatile as a tablet this way, and he can still use the Nook and Kindle apps to download books. He loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
