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:

Denise (my spouse) got a Nook and likes it quite a lot, though she still reads a fair number of printed books.

I use the iPad which also allows me to us the Nook, Kindle and iBooks apps. I prefer the Nook app due to it's more robust features. Having access to all three also allows me to take advantage of deal unique to each store front.

Good point -- the iPad does allow you to use whichever store you wish. Do you find the backlit display to be a problem at all?

Not yet. I've used the iPad for about a year now with no trouble. iBooks only has a few options for viewing settings such as B&W, Sepia, etc. The Nook has many more settings including a NightLight view which has a black background with white letters which is easy on the eyes. The Kindle app has a similar view but with far fewer viewing options.
