I keep it in purse so I sometimes also read it when I'm waiting for a doctor's appointment or things like that. I still love my hard copy books best, but it is nice to have. I actually haven't bought any books for it in the year and a half that I've had it. I download free classics, mainly hard to find ones or books that while classic I doubt I'll want to reread (or own a pretty copy of!). When I read Moby Dick, I read a free copy on my Nook instead of my hard copy just because it was easier to lug around. I also sometimes check out library books on it. I can sometimes get the hot new book or young adult titles that I might have to wait a while to get as a hard copy through the library. Sometimes the young adult books at my library are kind of germy looking and dirty, so reading them on the new also helps with that. :) Plus, if I want a book at midnight I can get it instantly instead of heading to the library the next day.Lindsey Sparkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654365166738983077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298495631546915310.post-11829194209145401122012-07-16T01:07:16.343-04:002012-07-16T01:07:16.343-04:00I'm so with you on what Penguin is doing! I lo...I'm so with you on what Penguin is doing! I love all of these beautiful book designs! I've added a whole bunch of the hardcover clothbound classics to my wishlist and would love to collect them! I was anti ereader for so long, but I have a Nook Color now and I absolutely love it! I use it when Matt's going to sleep and I want to stay up in bed reading. It hasn't cut into my "real book" reading at all! I've found a nice balance :) I tend to buy books on there I wouldn't pay full price for but that I'm curious about….sort of "beach book" type reads!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298495631546915310.post-69758540069724679902012-07-15T23:13:20.084-04:002012-07-15T23:13:20.084-04:00Congrats on the new little one on the way. :)

I love reading with it at night in bed (the light doesn't bother the husband), and I find it travels really well. <br /><br />I'm like you-I would rather collect books that I will love and cherish. I have the clothbound collection and the Puffin hardcovers...so now I am on to collecting the English Library edition. :) I'm a sucker for a pretty cover, but since I am hoping to keep my books for always, I would rather love the books I buy.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420476898132383974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298495631546915310.post-42366683946393812282012-07-15T15:29:38.693-04:002012-07-15T15:29:38.693-04:00I love my ereader, but was extremely hesitant to p...I love my ereader, but was extremely hesitant to purchase one in the beginning. I too love the feel and smell of a good book. Collecting books and music are my two passions. It was such a helpful tool when nursing, I can't stress that enough. I usually reserve my kindle for all the free classics and books that are of the moment popular novels as well as book club selections.daenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164614202399161260noreply@blogger.com
