November 2013 Books

November thoughts

My current favorite ereader is…..my nook HD 7” tablet!

I feel odd even saying that! But it’s true!

PROS

• 40 gb storage….I've had computers with less than that! I think I could put a million books on that! (8gb internal + 32gb card)
• High resolution screen. Crisp black text. Can read even in direct sunlight! (Glare reducing screen protector is applied)
• Multiple reading apps to choose from. As of today my favorite is Moon+. It’s super customizable, you can have it show time left in chapter and book at a glance, AND it uses my favorite sideloaded font!
• With the Calibre Companion app, I have total control over library management, in conjunction with Calibre on my desktop! The combination is more than I ever dreamed of!
  
  

CONS

• It is much heavier than my e-ink readers
• Battery doesn't last as long as my e-ink readers

It is absolutely a PERFECT reading device! Every time my thoughts stray to the Kobo Aura, I have to remind myself that I don't need it, and the Nook HD was $50 cheaper! If I have to charge it more, so what! Between the Nook, the Kobo Glo, and the Kobo Mini, I am covered!

I gave away the Pyrus Trekstor Mini....talk about bad battery life *shudder* It was fun to play with, though. I loved the size of the screen. But that's about all I loved!
