After a lot of thought and consideration, I decided to give ereading a chance. I use to read a lot of ebooks when I had my palm pilot but always thought the small screen was a little annoying. I've been looking at a lot of ebook readers, but the price is astronomical, 300-800$ was too much for me. The Sony Reader and the Amazon Kindle look great but they have no backlight and cost 300$. I love reading in bed, and the light is mostly tuned off. A backlight was a must. So. here is what I have come up with...
It is called the ebookwise. The technology is a little older, but it has a backlight. On the plus side I paid it 115$. Many times books get left at home because it is too heavy to carry, and this should help me. It's about the size of a paperback book. Ebooks are not available for all books, but after skimming the site many books on my tbr list is on the website. The books are cheaper, and many of them I already own in paperback or hardcover. So I wouldn't mind buying it for my ereader. Some books cost 3$ while others cost 10$. I'm hoping that I can buy some on ebooks and not bother with buying the paper format due to the fact I have NO MORE Shelf space. It's going to be great for vacation because I can load it up with books, and there we go...I have lots of choice while on the go. There is also a phone plug, and i can download books while connected to the phone, not to the computer. Great while I'll be on vacation. I hope I really enjoy it. I use to read ebooks all the time in University.
