Nook

So for the last 2 years I've been getting ebooks and reading them off my computer. Now I'm the type that likes to keep reading until I'm done. I still remember when I finished the Harry Potter book in 2 days, so as you can probably guess my back would hurt quite a bit after 8 hrs on the computer reading.

So the invention of the ebook reader. I've been wanting one for months and months but found the $300+ pricetag a bit out of my reach. Then they introduced the Chapters Kobo for $149... but I wasn't to sure about the look and feel of it. The Amazon Kindle, I didn't like the keyboard and then I found the Nook. Holds more then the Kobo, has a nice look to it... and with the recent introduction price of $149 USD. Pefect hey? Except they don't sell them in Canada.

Luckily my awesome cousin Wilson was in New York and was kind enough to grab me one of these babies. It's been 1 month in with it and I've read at least 7 ebooks. It's my new addiction! It's easy on the eyes with the eink technology, function is simple enough for me and upload of books is easy! Though I do recommend the free program Calibre to rename/organize your ebooks.

Thanks again Wilson!
