First topic message reminder :

ok so the title says it all, which one do you think is better? eBooks or hard copy books? (and reffering to eBooks as reading a book on your computer, an eBook reader, or your phone)

be creative into backing up which one is better.

have fun!!

I don't actually have an Ebook so I gotta say a normal book... though I want a kindle but I doubt that I could ever save enough money... to many things already on my wish list... Marc by Marc Jacobs jail bird dress... mulberry stripy black and white white cheetah scarf... juicy couture new crest day dreamer.... see by chloe bow handbag.... juicy couture bow handbag.... marc by marc jacobs miss marc and dogs T-shirt... michael michael kors oversized heidi clutch... well I think you get the picture. I want one but I can't see to save. I'm currently having trouble just saving for the 6,000 dollar a year high school tuition, and I always go over budget so a kindle doesn't seem to be in my picture right now. Maybe later... when I am 28 and a doctor/part time designer.

So to sum it all up, a normal book because I don't have an Ebook so I can't give you an informed decision, and I want a kindle but cant save enough money because fashion is just wayyy to pretty.

Cool. I've heard that the sony screen is to shiny which makes it hard to read. Have you ever had this problem?

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I'm leaning more towards a kindle because of amazon.

Personally I wouldn't get a Sony because in my mind they have quality issues as I have had quite a bit of chronic breakdowns with Sony Products in the past.


Also I get my books now from the Book Depository so it is sometimes cheaper on that site to get the real thing than eBooks on Amazon. Also most of the time it is like less than 5 dollars difference so it hardly matters and it looks nice on your shelf.


However if you want portability then you really should get an eBook reader and I would recommend the Kindle because it has whispernet and it is cheaper than most competitors for the quality you are getting.
