Well…we have lots of choices in the Thumper household. I have an IPad with the Kindle and Nook apps loaded onto it…and my books go there. My husband has a Nook Color (he calls it the poor man’s IPad) and he loves it. DD is getting a Kindle for Christmas and that is also a hit.

Here is what I think.


I like the IPad because it’s portable device that has my books, and also can access my email and use Skype.
My husband likes the Nook Color because it’s smaller…and it’s backlit…something the Kindle does not have.
DD wanted the Kindle because really it’s very lightweight and the one we got her (old one) holds a charge for a long time…and can store a couple thousand books. It is not, however, backlit and needs a light for reading in the dark.


Personally I think it’s different strokes for different folks.
