kakaasar kase pag may nasaksak ka sa usb port sabay virus pala pati mga pdf ngaun pwede na maging malware kaya kahit mga ebook reaDER natin dpt ingat sa mga linalagay at dagdag info pa since ang kindle flash ang storage nya hindi advisable na scan ng scan bawat lagay baka masira ung storage drive niya.

Wala talaga tatalo sa windows based e-book reader:thumbsup:

Lahat ng format maari mong basahin without converting it.

Tatay ko na mahina na mata gamit ang luma kong laptop at binabasa niya mga ebooks in large fonts (24 points).

Problema lang mahirap magbasa na nakahiga:p

Nook is more user friendly; it has a user replaceable battery and user upgradeable storage (Micro-SD), no tools or expertise needed.

You have to send the Kindle 3 back to Amazon to have the battery replaced and you cannot upgrade K3 storage.

For reasons of my own; I prefer using a full-featured Android Tablet (Archos 70) so I am selling my hardly used Nook for less than 8k.

for those on the look out for a dedicated ebook reader, here's the new and improved barnes and noble nook. i'm a sucker for touchscreen readers so this is really interesting. very affordable too at only $139. will i buy? prolly not for two reasons:

1. i have the attention span of a 7-year old so i prefer the ipad.
2. i like to read at night so i prefer to have an LCD screen. just had my eyes checked and 20/20 pa naman LOL

Buying a dedicated e-book reader like Kindle or Nook leaves a very small upgrade path if any at all.

I believe that e-ink readers are just a passing fad and will soon fade away.

There is very little you can do with them except read, and adding a booklight and cover defeats the very concept of having a reader that is light and comfortable to handle.

I have tried both Kindle and still have my Nook but I have abandoned them for an Archos 70 android tablet.

It's LCD so that I don't need a bulky booklight and there are so many other things I can do with it; play movies, play games, read my email, read, compose and edit documents and you have full featured internet access.

You can also read all formats of ebooks including the popular epub format that kindle doesn't without having to convert them.

Most apps are free from Google Marketplace.

The only disadvantage is it has shorter battery life (8 hours watching movies with wifi on) but charging only takes an hour or less, which is not much of a disadvantage.

BTW, I have found that Laputa Reader is better than Aldiko Premium; try it, it's free:clap:

They're almost the same reader, may Pan and Zoom lang si Kobo for PDFs.

Apparently both don't have any web browser, sayang nga e. And medyo nakakapanloko lang ang ad ni Nook, i read a review on the item:

It says battery life is 2 months but apparently that is reading 1/2 hour per day for several days in one week.

Nakaka-tempt 'cause of the faster page turns and the touch screen, but i really want a web browser on my device for book transfer and whatnots, sayang ang wifi function kung walang browser! Hmm, for update function and coupons lang yata siya.

Aantayin ko na lang pag may web browser feature na ilalabas. Watch Out For K4! :lol:

here's B&N's response to the battery life issue:

With up to two months on a single charge, the All-New NOOK has the longest-battery life in the industry and superior battery performance to Kindle 3. In our side-by-side tests, under the exact same conditions, continuous use of the device resulted in more than two times Kindle's battery life. While reading at one page a minute, the All-New NOOK battery lasts for 150 hours where the Kindle battery, using the same page-turn rate, lasts for only 56 hours (both with Wi-Fi off). We've also done a continuous page turn test and at one page turn per second, the All-New NOOK offers more than 25,000 continuous page turns on a single charge.

It's a gray area when it comes to e-books.

More like borrowing a book from a friend or a library; you don't buy the book but you get to read it for free.

If you like it, the least you can do is buy yourself your own copy.

Kobo eReader Touch Edition review

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/06/kobo-ereader-touch-review-600-66.jpg

When it first announced the launch of its eReader Touch Edition late last month, Kobo referred to itself again and again as the "David" in a reader market full of "Goliaths." It's not difficult to see why -- the company's chief competition in the space is Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Sony, all giants in their respective fields. In spite of overwhelming odds, however, Kobo has managed to stay afloat, and even competitive. True to form, however, Barnes & Noble launched its own device a mere day after Kobo, which for most intents and purposes, looks an awful lot like the eReader Touch Edition. In fact, the devices were seemingly so alike that we created a head to head, in order to see for ourselves precisely what set them apart.

I'm a Nook Color to Kindle convert. Hehehe! :) Nook color displays PDF so much better but I am enjoying the Kindle a lot more.

Kindle DX does a better job displaying PDF files if you want e-ink but it's so much more expensive :) Plus I find it way to big to carry around din. I still convert my PDF books to mobi. Pero kung dapat talaga PDF, sa tab nalang. Hehe! :)


Also consider the expenses involved in having your Nook Color repaired in the US; could easily costs you $100 just for freight alone.

i think for "touchscreen" readers like the new ones from sony, b&n, and kobo, the screen itself is not touchscreen. instead, there are infrared sensors located around the sides of the screen that track finger movements. so no, they're not capacitive. not resistive either.

if you'll be viewing mainly colored pdf files, i suggest going for an ipad or any other 10" tablet. i've had and handled a number of dedicated ebook readers and pdf just does not lend itself well to them. the screen is just too small. zooming in and out, and swiping left and right start to get annoying really fast.

there is no perfect ebook reader, but based on your needs i'd go tablet.

PROS of getting a tablet
1. renders pdf files beautifully
2. colored
3. big screen
4. APPS APPS APPS
5. handles a lot of formats
6. angry birds

CONS
1. expensive
2. considerably heavier than readers
3. if you're a heavy user, you'll prolly need to charge daily/every other day

@kimi nakatry kana po ba ng touch ebook reader?how was the page turn speed?and responsive po ba yung pagnavigate sa touch?

i had a sony reader touch (PRS 600). page turning was slow back then (over 2 years ago). resistive yung screen so response time was so-so. also used a PRS 650 for a bit. this already uses an infrared sensor that the new readers are using and it was much more responsive and quick. i'm sure further improvement has been made in these areas. there are videos on youtube that compare page turn speed of readers, by the way. last touch reader that i got to play around with was the nook color. different technology altogether so can't really compare to the others.

alright oo nga naman may youtube para sa comparison thanks sa feedback po,still using a kindle 3 its my first and probably my only ebook reader for a while until someone comes up with really fast page turning on e-ink technology.

now that you mention all the page turning issues. it's not really that much of an issue for me pero true... if it is touch screen dependent lang baka maging problem sya... and yes I am kinda in love with my Kinx the kindle 3 too:lol:

thank u sa mga sumagot sa question ko.. malaking help for me :thumbsup: gusto ko pa naman sana kaso d pala advisable sa mga books na babasahin ko... i want to stay away from APPS kasi, para walang destruction.. i already have a netbook, naghahanap lang ng mas madali dalhin... i'm also considering a tablet, ang mahal nga lang talaga, ang mahal din kasi ng books and super bigat sila.

next time na lang cguro ung kindle pag may time na magbasa ng non-acad books :)

@jynx whats a kinx?well i feel kinda slowed down when im navigating the kindle especially when i need to backread on something for confirmation,well the kindle is still oh so awesome and the battery life is still 3 weeks more or less before i charge,love the kindle all the way

@ahseya better hold on buying a kindle 3 they just might have what you need kasi i read on some tech sites that amazon is building a tablet kindle,rumors lang siya pero i think maganda yun para magaral at magbasa narin big screen eh.so save lang ng save until dumating ang new kindle model para sulit.for now sa netbook sufficient naman siya,di ko maimagine self ko na maglabas ng kindle sa lrt/mrt baka icipin ng masamang loob galaxy tab yun at isnatch pa hehe

I just named my Kindle3 I agree it can be difficult to navigate until you get used to how you can set things up. I usually have mine on setting the home screen to show the Recently accessed or added files. the battery life is also it's selling point for me I dont even use the mp3 player function as much. I like being able to conveniently transfer ebooks wirelessly as well. I even put work presentations on it for review. I guess it really boils down to what features benefit or answer your needs more. so far the Kindle is good enough for me. plus in a case for the samsung tablet it looks just like a planner hinde mainit sa mata when you travel around unlike the ipad.

Ako, Adobe Reader and Aldiko Book Reader on my android.

Try the Laputa Reader.

I find E-ink readers too one-dimensional for my needs; you are limited to black and white.

You cannot read manga, comic books, children's books, magazines, cookbooks and other illustrated books in them.

I have a feeling that these dedicated e-book readers will go the way of printers with the hardware going almost for free while content and accessories goes for an arm and a leg.

Android is the way to go.

sabagay maraming con ang ebook reader para lang ito talaga sa mga book reader na hindi iniimportante ang illustrations and graphics

i think there are still cult followers of ebook reading in the future basta below 100$ ang pricetag

like me hehe instead of one ipad i opted for an ipod touch and kindle and never regretted since

Stanza on my iPod Touch - I'm currently using this because iPT is my primary gadget right now.
Although I've also used mobipocket before, (was using N73) and it was the best ebook reader app I used. It was very noob-friendly! :thumbsup: Too bad mobi doesn't support iPT. If ever it will. I'll transfer my books in a heartbeat. :lol:

Mobireader documents are in .prc format.

Just download them to your ebooks folder in your N97.

yes. yung kindle na program. dalawa kasi ung ginagamit ko na e-reader. ung kindle, okay siya kasi i can make some highlights and i can search online for the meaning of the words. i guess may ganun ding features ung iba, no?
ung kobo reader, mas maganda ung layout. tapos napapalaki ung letters. i don't know kung may ganung feature ang kindle. default kasi ung ginagamit ko eh.
the only downside of kobo reader is that it cannot read any mobi format ebooks if you haven't bought it from their site. :)
sorry for the late reply. been very busy lately. :D

^Gawa ka ng e-book sub- folder sa documents folder mo at dun mo i-paste ang .prc files.

Tapos navigate ka sa e-books folder open ka ng selected file dobol-klik mo.

Not sure if applicable sa Nokia ito, but it works with Windows Mobile.

O kaya open mo mobireader at navigate ka sa e-books folder.

Sorry, hanggang dun na lang powers ko.

Make sure na yung file na import mo ay yung nasa calibre folder mo, hindi yung sa original folder niya.
