Confessions of a book nerd

Love my kindle Fire and use it for everything. I love, love , love to read!

Plus, now I can read all the dirty romance novels I want with nobody judging me... muhahahaha.

Haha..yes. This.

I got a Nook for Christmas and I had just bought a ton of books. At first I was "meh, cool" but now I love it. Fits in my purse, take it everywhere. I don't have to go to the store when I have a book in my mind that I want ten minutes ago.

Love it!

I'm currently reading Act of Valor by Tom Clancy...love it.

I have a Galaxy tab and I use the Kindle App on there to read and download ebooks! I LOVE it! I just downloaded the Hunger Games trilogy! Can't wait to start reading them. I also have a few textbooks on there for my nursing classes. It's pretty cool that most new textbooks are including a tablet app to go along with their reading material!

Oh yah, love my KOBO Touch. I too thought I would miss the smell/feel of a new book but so far I'm loving the e-reader. There are times, I'm sure that I will still buy books, ones that I want to read often or display. Apparently, now that e-readers are so popular the sales of women's trash novels have skyrocketed. I guess now women wouldn't have to feel embarassed taking them to the checkout. Currently on my reader I have Dreams of Pearl and The Happiness Project. Might read the Steve Jobs bio next.

I have a thing about buying books. The thing is, I don't do it. I'm such a library geek. I reserve the books I want to read online, and I get an email when they're ready.

I've looked at the prices of ebooks...not much different than paperbacks. And I just lurve turning pages and smelling the books. But it seems the longer I hold out, the more pointless it becomes.

Should I just get an ereader already? I wish I could try one out for a few days, see how I like it.

My library lends ebooks. Many of them do now, and mine is very receptive to title requests. I send them an email asking for the title, along with the ISBN, and usually within a few days, I gt an email back to inform me that the title is in and being reserved for me. Bing, bang, boom.

I got a Kindle for Christmas & I love it. I've gone through all 3 Hunger Games, the Time Machine and am halfway through Pride & Prejudice. A big seller was that Amazon has so many free books.

...I totally was NOT on the whole eBook bandwagon at first- I love the feel of a book in my purse, the sound of the pages turning, the sight of a filled bookshelf..etc etc.
However my husband got me a Nook for Christmas due to the fact that I have now run out of room on our two bookshelves (he gets a bottom shelf on one. What? The dude doesn't read.) and I complain constantly about how expensive a book is now-a-days.
At first I was a bit hesitant... this little computer thing is going to let me read things without my eyes wanting to die? And the books are cheaper on here? Riiiight.

Two months later now I am all about my little Nook- it goes with me pretty much wherever I go.

What are your favorite things to read on your eBook device (kindle, nook, tablet, etc)?

You sound just like me! (minus the dirty romance novels! haha) I do still enjoy "real" books. If I can get them cheaper used, I will. I prefer hard copies of certain things. But I have grown to love my Nook so much! The instant gratification when you want a new book can't be beat! I just finished read the Hunger Games trilogy. It's great when you finish a book in a series and can just immediately get the next one.

I have a Kindle and love it! Never thought I would because I am totally a library girl-I can't afford to support my reading habit if I buy everything! But Kindle finally allows library lending so it's the best of all worlds. I still get the new releases in Hardback from the library (although, it would be really nice to have the ginormous Stephen King book on my Kindle!) and check out books on my Kindle as well. It's great for trips too-no more needing half a suitcase to bring my books!

I bought one of the original Kobos a couple years ago.
Love it. Would never go back.

Lots of people here are jumping on the Kindle bandwagon (apparently they're better but I don't see the appeal personally) But all the library ebooks are epubs and not mobi so sucks to be them!

ETA: actually, I lie.
I won't use the ereader for textbooks. A non-fiction book I just want to read? Sure. Something that I'm referring backwards and forwards with? Nuh uh,

I haven't jumped on that bandwagon yet. I love books, real books with pages. For me, its all part of the enjoyment of reading. Many of my friends have tried to convert me but I can't seem to bring myself to do it.

I use my phone because it always on me. I love it! And I only ever read book once so its kinda meanless to be filling bookshelves. So, I'm also saving trees.

This was totally me. In fact it was one of my top 2 reasons NOT to get an e-reader. The other being the fact that I stare at a computer all day and didn't want to stare at a back-lit screen while trying to read. Then I got a Kindle (which is not back-lit). I can prop it up against a wall and read while I'm doing something else. I've been known to prop it up between the mirror and the faucet of my bathroom sink so I can read while brushing my teeth. I've proped it up against my toaster while making dinner. It's not as heavy in my purse as a paper book. I'm also one of those who at times reads more than 1 book depending upon my mood. With a Kindle, I can take all the books I'm reading with me. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE paper books but the ease and portability of a Kindle has it's benefits. Not to mention the games that are available as well even on the basic Kindle.

I think its different for everybody. I mean I have had so many books at one point that I was literally able to make a table out of books.

I'm a computer professional and yet I still prefer an actual book. I don't even like the paper books, I buy the hardcover whenever possible!

I can see a lot of benefits of nook and other devices though but dont think I would ever like it

Totally love my kindle although i also never thought I would, it is just so light to hold when you read in bed so your hands don't get too cold. Currently reading Sherlock Holmes and loving it!
