eBooks

[YOJO]

I have the kindle and its amazingly simple to use and read. the ebook prices on amazon range from either 30-100% off of the original price

I've been reading a bit about the Kindle and if I was to get one that would be the one it seems.

The drawback aside from the pricing is that because I live in Canada and it seems that the selection is reduced. Of course, I'll check to see if my favourites that I follow will be available for Canadians too. It's not like I'll read 500,000+ books any time soon.

And, the price... again, it seems I cannot buy the Kindle from Amazon.ca and have to buy it through their US store. Which of course adds exchange rate as well as shipping and HST (our dumb, recently raised tax). Still gonna play with the idea.

@Hessah: Yeah, I could get the app... it would've been okay if I had an iPhone or one of those Android phones with the bigger screen. I have a BlackBerry and... it's so tiny. xD

TBH even the iPhone screen is too small.. probably better if u get an iPad xD

You gotta check the free 3G thing in canada too.. my friend talked about having to proxy it or something so they can have access to US books.. or something like that.. I didn't pay much attention but there was some juristiction issue..

If u want more info I can ask them again... let me know..

Lol

Yeah, I did read that the one with 3G or the international one can be used in "over 100 countries" thus nice for those who travel or something like that. And yeah, something about licensing or whatever publisher, etc...

Don't worry about it though, thanks for offering. I'll just continue to Google stuff when I get bored at work. :P

You could always, y'know, pirate the books you want and write a check to the author, LOL.

Lol! xD
