I have a Kindle that I use almost daily for personal reading. I have to say I like the Kindle app on my iPhone better than the Kindle itself! Easier to navigate with the touch screen. I wish I had an iPad though, for the larger screen…
I have an iphone. I do not have a Kindle. I prefer the iphone to the Kindle for reading but I have not read a book on the iphone. I do read a lot of articles from newspapers on my iphone.
I gave my husband a Nook for Christmas and he loves it but he has not read a book on it, just news on the internet. The Nook color is very nice but does not yet have G3 or 4 capability so can be problematic for WiFi depending on where you are located.
I have been surprised that I actually read more with my ereaders than I did before. Now I can have a print book and the ereader and consult each of them concurrently depending on what I am doing or looking for.
I recently got a Kindle. I agree that the availability of apps for different devices is a big plus. Of course, purchasing has been restricted via those apps from some devices. I have been surprised how seamless and easy the reading experience is, especially with a larger font. I like having ability to insert notes and highlights and to clip content though I have not used it much. Biggest surprise for me has been how much I have used the Kindle to manage my personal periodical subscriptions. It is great to have all of my routine reading in one place and currrent, especially when I am travelling!
I love my Kindle. It’s great for traveling, and lots of classics are free or very cheap. Taking the entire Western canon on the plane!
