eReaders

‎"Crystal Memory" is now live at the Apple iBooks store, so those of you with iPads can now get it. Also had the first Nook sale of the book yesterday. Woo-hoo! Still, Amazon is obviously the Big Dog with ebooks -- at least in my limited experience.

I'm curious as to the eReader preferences of the LJ folks -- so here's a poll:

I have so many paper books....

...that I'm not going to switch to pure e-readers any time soon. I have a Kindle, and appreciate that it is a very good device, but so far it's not worth buying replacement books for.

I lost some e-pubs a couple of smart-phones ago and really don't value them as highly as physical ones. There's additional problems in the UK where the ebooks have VAT (sales tax) applied to them and paper ones don't - and ebooks have no resale value.

I'll catch up eventually, I'm sure. Just not yet.

Ugh -- didn't know about the VAT in the UK. That's certainly a disincentive.
