Do you carry your eReader everywhere? - Page 4

nookkatz · 01-15-2012, 01:16 AM

My iPod Touch is always with me, so I can read anywhere that I have time. Since the iPod is so convenient to carry, my Nooks don't get to leave the house much.

This. The eReader is easier to carry than a book, particularly the little Libre Pro.

It goes back and forth to work with me everyday. But it stays in my large bag in the car if I stop to go grocery shopping or something similar. But if I ever stop at the Chinese takeout place, I'm sure I'd take it with me inside (I used to web surf on my phone when waiting there before).

My e-readers fit in any bag which I take outside, so the 650 goes everywhere with me; the 505 is a homebody and is just waiting for the day the 650 gets lost/stolen/run over. Any opportunity to read - I'm taking it!

Espresso doppia.

Any chance of upgrading the kipper to a babel fish?

I also do take it from room to room with me.

I use my PE for my shopping list, as well. I also put all my e-cookbooks on it, so recipe ingredients are handy in the grocery store.

Also, its audio on it is good enough that I can listen to books while I'm out running short errands in the car. On long trips, I use CDs, though.

Nah, they can't be changed once posted, but I am a big Hitchhiker fan, so here is your geek-cred fist bump.

Anywhere I expect an unpaid break/wait (I am not permitted to read if on the clock, even if I am waiting).
I even read my PEz in the lunchroom at Lab126

I voted "No" along with the locked safe comment. Mainly because, when I'm out of the house, if I wish to read, I'll read on my phone with the Kindle app. Now, thanks to Amazon's new tools, I can read any book on the phone, even if it didn't originate from Amazon. Get home, sync back to the Kindle and I'm right where I was on the phone. Loverly!

So, the e-reader stays safe at home (hey, I've broken 3 ... or maybe it was 4 ... all while the reader was out of the house). Not really in a locked safe - but it was the only poll option that fit.

If I have to use a smaller purse for whatever reason, I make sure to sync whatever book I'm reading with the appropriate app on my iphone so I can having something to read just in case.

Ever since I got my reader in '07, I've bought my purses to fit my reader. My reader doesn't fit, I don't buy it.

Latinandgreek · 01-15-2012, 06:57 PM

I make sure to buy purses to fit my readers, too. My 350 is small enough that purse size is not really ever a problem, though.

I did it the other way around. one of the reasons I bought my Libre Pro was because I wanted an eReader that would fit in my purse.

I usually carry my e-book reader in my purse. So, yes, I usually carry it everywhere. Before e-book readers, I usually carried a book in my purse. In fact, I still do carry a dead tree book with me most of the time.

Namekuseijin · 01-15-2012, 08:11 PM

Yes, always with me, in my pocket. To be perfectly honest, it only lacks being waterproof to be always with me.

FlorenceArt · 01-15-2012, 08:13 PM

Of course I carry it everywhere! Otherwise when would I read? I read on the metro, train, plane, any kind of transportation, much more than at home. I don't drive, as you can probably tell. The only case (apart from forgetting to put it in my purse

) when I don't always take it is when I go grocery shopping, because I do it on foot and I don't read in the checkout line.

I took mine to Iraq. It's my precious.
