I Love My Nook

I have a Barnes and Noble Nook, and I don't really think it would matter what kind of e-reader I had, I absolutely love it.  I'm currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo, and for that large of a book to be on just a tiny tablet is so convenient.

Another nice feature about these e-readers, is that you can download a lot of the classics (like The Count of Monte Cristo!)  for free either from Google Books or another site that I really enjoy, called Forgotten Books.  On the Forgotten Books site, you can choose books a couple of different ways.  For example, you can pay a certain amount of money for a certain number of high quality downloads per month, or you can do what I do, and sign up to have a new free high quality book sent to your email account each day.  You can even download any book you want, but it's a lower quality.  That's why I like the book a day method.

Reading is such a great activity, and you can even do it while you exercise.  For example, tonight I think I'm going to hop on the treadmill, and bring my Nook along with me.  All I have to do is make the print a bit bigger, and I'll have no problem getting a little further in my book tonight!
