So obviously the Kindle is the big one that people talk about, but there's also the Nook and the Sony eReader... and many others out there. Are there really major differences from one to the next? What do I need to look for? What do I need to avoid? Do all eBook-stores (amazon, b&n, emusic, etc) offer books compatible with all the eReaders? Give me the "for dummies" version to help me shop. Thanks!

i've already looked into this.

get a kindle.

the end.

kindle is the best. and is the one that you can buy books from amazon for. its the one that is going to win and become the dominant format. also it can do pdfs. there is ebook format converter software anyway, but just get the kindle.

haha yes I believe you -- but I'd like to understand WHY I'm buying one item over another. I don't buy things because of their brandname. I'd like to know why I'm spending the money is all.

the reason im getting a kindle is cos it can do pdf

I'd say amazon.com is the selling point. If Nook can't do amazon format then seems meh.

seriously. im not going to EVER buy one ebook. WTF. thats like paying for mp3s on itunes. you only do it if youre a fucking moron.

i have about maybe a couple of thousand books on my computer downloaded already. mostly in pdf format.

i havent looked into it that much but books will become the same as music soon. it will be pretty much pointless, wasteful and expensive to buy physical copies.

get yourself a good ebook reader. or as they should be called "pdf reader". the kindles the best. the thing can go for up to is it a month or 2 on ONE charge.

also JUST INCASE YOU REALLY ARE RETARDED. amazon will try to sell you a case for the kindle at £50. if you want one, you can get one off ebay, not the official amazon brand of course, for like 15-20 MAX.

just dont buy amazons case for it whatever you do.

anyway thanks for the heads up. I'm planning to buy the eReader at BestBuy since I have a BB card. According to their site they now carry Kindles in store, but not online. So I'll have to take a drive down there to actually see teh damn price. Should be the same as thru Amazon though no?

yeah - it should be noted that you could go to ebay and buy a japanese knock off of an iphone for what i assume would be between $40-70 since thats about how much one costs in £

you can use one of these as a pdf reader. altho the battery life isnt long.

i would still get a kindle tho.
