If you lost your Ebook reader,... - Page 2

I will let you know after I have my Jetbook for a while. As for the iPod Touch.. well, yes, I probably would.

That being said... I would never buy a book reader like the Kindle that is built around DRM... Though I might be willing to accept eReader style DRM as a necessary evil, I will never accept DRM linked to devices or requiring a DRM server.

The wonderful thing about free enterprise and capitalism? We are all free to choose what works best for us.

It's sure one "ugy" duckling

).

I'm my Kindle was lost or broken, I would probably replace it with a Sony 505 or 700. Since I will still be able to buy books from the Kindle store. Of course, if they move more to Topaz this would not be an option.

Is that all you're going to say to him!

I gave him "good-bye" karma because I just knew you were going to blow him up (at the very least). You sure have mellowed DG.

It's true too, daffy! Look, it even says so over my avatar.

I think I'd dump it all for an Apple Netbook Tablet.

If I lost my iLiad, I'd take a long, hard look at the new Irex reader - screen size is important. But I would probably just have the broken screen on my Cybook repaired - I can't really afford anything more right now anyway

Then I'll wait and see if anything interesting is coming out next year, like the Plasticlogic reader.

Same here. New Sony is cool, but the price is awful

If I lost my PSR-505 which I love, I'd be depressed because of what I paid for it, and because I'd be suffering from some reading withdrawal (thank goodness there are still pBooks

). The next reader I'd buy would probably be the PRS-700, although it would take me a few months to save up for it.

HappyMartin · 10-16-2008, 04:40 AM

When my iliad up and left I replaced it with a Cybook. If the Cybook got lost or broke I would replace it with another Cybook.

Slite · 10-16-2008, 04:48 AM

If I lost my BeBook i would most likely replace it with a Cybook (Or possibly another BeBook)

yvanleterrible · 10-16-2008, 06:06 AM

I've got so much paper left that i'd go back to reading that for a while, until the reader of my dreams surfaces. I would just hope it's soon because I have some pretty heavy bricks remaining.
BTW I passed by the bookstore and saw an interesting book last weekend but I failed to buy it because it was too heavy...incredible how easily we get spoiled by our readers.
