Re: Kindle - ebook reader

Hmmm.... the consideration is the non reflective screen i guess... price between sony and kindle about the same.

I'm actually thinking of reading this 1 book which is damn thick, that why I thought of getting but the cost of buying the ebook and the hardcover is not much of a difference. :evil:

Need to source for free books sites and download them first before I actually buy, else if I have to buy all books that i want... ma ti....

Bros here, any lobang on this?

Still have lots of free ebooks online lah.

One alternative is get the Barnes & Noble Nook Color.

Cost slightly more than the kindle but new ones now come with Android Froyo 2.2 too.

So it's one of the cheapest Android Tab around as well as an ereader.

If you are more garang, can flash it to gingerbread 2.3 or even honeycomb 3.0 as well

All these terms seem damn chim to me. Haha!

I just need a reader so that I don't lug my reads, pretty thick for some of them on public transport and blablabla....

Could you provide me some sites for download, if you are using any now and in terms of price and functionality, which is recommended. :mrgreen:

tt32003, Nook Color can be used as a tablet too?

If yes, how much is it? It is not available locally right?
