Are you finding the same?Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-58529058267689796812013-01-07T12:02:31.631+11:002013-01-07T12:02:31.631+11:00Sarah, I just got a Kobo Glo over the holiday too ...Sarah, I just got a Kobo Glo over the holiday too and I really like it! Like you I was sceptical about e-books. But a few months ago I was searching for a book at my local library and the only copy that showed up was an e-book. I downloaded it onto my iPod and enjoyed having access to the book, and it's portability. As you mentioned with your smartphone experience I found that the screen was just too small. <br />The only problem now is that my boys really love using the Kobo too. Trying to get time on it is getting trickier and trickier!<br />All the best,<br />ClaireClaire Thompsonhttp://www.claireonline.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-53051064375423638402013-01-06T12:44:42.513+11:002013-01-06T12:44:42.513+11:00I haven't had my Kobo for long so I am not sur...I haven't had my Kobo for long so I am not sure how it will stack up against Kindle...I'll let you know when I have had more of a play with it.Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-27221258274685760062013-01-06T11:58:49.927+11:002013-01-06T11:58:49.927+11:00I have a Kindle, I converted just over a year ago ...I have a Kindle, I converted just over a year ago for reasons of space.<br /><br />When I knew I HAD to read the Game of Thrones series I made the decision that I just couldn't find any more room on our bookshelves for another series of 6 thick books.<br /><br />The books are cheaper. I also subscribe to Pixels of Ink through FB which gives a handful of free books for Kindle every day (mostly very mild mannered disposable titles).<br /><br />I take mine in the bath too, it is EASY to pack and have with me on a daily basis. Drawbacks are that we can't share our books with friends - which I used to do a lot, passing them around with family and friends.<br /><br />I find it difficult to hold a thick book in bed (I am still trying to finish the fourth Eragon book from a year ago)so my Kindle wins hands down.<br /><br />I can see that I will use both methods, and some I still buy in paper form, but for reading in one direction (start to finish) that I don't need to flick back to the Kindle is great.Laura Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299523378009842115noreply@blogger.com
