Be sure to post in this thread about any new ebook downloads you might have saved to your hard drive. I don't just want to hear about paper books. |

I've downloaded some racy erotica to my kindle reader over the last few days. That'll be fun to dive into. |

I've recently dipped my toes in the .pdf and printer game. There's a certain satisfaction to be had in printing one's own reading material. |

I downloaded the kindle app to my phone so I've been using that to read in bed. |

I'm thinking of buying one, but I have to compare them to the newer Samsung Android tablets because the Kindle App will allow one to act like the other. |

If I got a Kindle it would be the Fire HD. Why not have it do other shit too? |

Those new-fangled Kindle models with a lit screen, released earlier this week. |

I just like the idea of having an all in one device. I've been thinking of both a Kindle and a tablet recently, and if it'll work why not get something that will do both? But yeah, readability is certainly a factor. |

If I want to browse the web or check emails, I have my phone. When I'm reading, I just want to read. The new Kindles don't even have audio anymore, but that's fine by me. I'd rather have something to do one thing really well than a whole bunch of stuff only moderately well, y'know? |

Like, how moderate are we talking about? |
