| Ereaders - take your pick! |
Hang onto your hats, dear readers. Things are changing right before your eyes! The other night I began reading an old paperback in bed. I confess, I thought holding a book again instead of reading on a device would be a cozy experience. Instead, I realized the book had yellowed to where I almost couldn't read it, and I needed a light to see the pages. Oh, dear me!
I will confess knowing enough about ereaders and bottom lines to tell you, from what I've read, the four best choices are a Kindle, Nook, Sony or Kobo. And unless you are a "techie" these choices are your best bet.
In researching information I did learn that using your iPad or other tablets are not the best way to go. It's due to the weight and short battery life. Okay, so I use my iPad to read. But it is difficult unless you're reading on a plane with a pull down tray to support the device.
Simply put, you want a Kindle if you're buying books from Amazon, a Nook if you're buying books from Barnes and Noble, and a Kobo or Sony if you're buying books from most other online sites. Notice I said most other online sites. That's a whole different story. Click the link under the photo for a better understanding of ereaders.
In any case, it's my opinion that eventually ereaders are the future. Libraries already have ebooks available and add more every day. Schools are using them as early as Kindergarten and even college textbooks are now online.
More importantly, the choices we now have are endless, with the self-publishing industry booming! We at Cozy Mystery Magazine appreciate your readership and understand the thousands of choices of cozy mysteries out there now. Thank you for reading our books and giving us wonderful reviews. By doing so you make our books more visible to audiences around the world.
What ereader do you use? Pros? Cons?
Have a lovely weekend, dear readers.
See you in my books!
