Kindle

The other day my husband joked that I should get a Kindle now that they're so much cheaper.  He was joking because I've always been indifferent to e-readers.

But now I'm beginning to think I might like one.

What are the pros and cons? (Yes, I really want your opinion.)

You know how much I love mine. The new one holds even more books. Now that I have found the free downloads, I read all kinds of books that I would have never read before. Even though some publishers have upped their prices the books are still cheaper on the Kindle than buying a bound book and your space is a limited as ours. If you really love a book then you can purchase the bound copy. Love you!

I have found that often the prices are the same or close enough to it when buying books. For example, Hunger games is $9.75 for the book and $9.00 for the download (on Amazon). Plus, Nook has rights to certain books and Kindle has rights to others and Bbook has others, etc. It seemed like you couldn't always get what you wanted unless you have multiple e-readers anyway. I have other things that I researched...I wanted one for the books I wanted to read but wouldn't buy. But, found that if they are recent releases they are still over $10. My library has all the classics and such you can get for free as downloads so I am still trying to figure out why I would get one.

But, BenJoe says you can get Ensigns, scriptures and conference talks for the cost of a download. Since I don't have an e-reader, I can't say much about it for sure, I guess.
