[kayesl]

uy, may new thread na pala. naiwan na ako.

i have nook glowlight. sulit na sulit naman sakin. lalo na ngayon na medyo adiktus na ako sa pagbabasa.  hubby also have the same. kaso sa kanya may tama na yung screen   pag lumalabas kasi sya, hindi nya nilalagay sa pouch to protect the screen. nadaganan siguro sa bag nya.  ok sya pag walang glowlight. pag naka-on ang light, may 2 specks na mas maliwanag. pero sa pagtagal, nakakasanayan na din nya.

overall happy naman kami sa nook with glowlight namin. hindi nakakasilaw yung glowlight pag lights off na sa bed. nakakatulog naman ng ayos yung isa.  kaya tuloy minsan di ko na sya nasasaway pag late na sya natutulog dahil sa pagbabasa.

Finally gave in and tried Kindle. Grabe, didn't know what I was missing! Super sarap magbasa compared to my iPad! To think it's almost a fraction of the price. Sulit!

Waahh I couldn't find kindle paperwhite. Amazon and bestbuy has no stock. I'm tired of using iPhone. Masyadong Maliit.

^When i ordered the paperwhite recently, 1 month wait ata, or more. My estimated delivery was end of november pa. But thaf's a conservative estimate naman. I just got an email that it'll be delivered by november 9.

^dec 17 pa expected ship date sa amazon. What a torture. I thought ok na ako sa iphone/ipad pero sumasakit na kasi mata ko lalo na inaabutan ako sa umaga pag nagbabasa.
Yung kindle nlng sana kaya lang i always read at night so gusto ko yung paperwhite na lang.

mga sisses pakipost reviews niyo dito about paperwhite ah. i'm i'm interested din though good as new pa rin yung kindle 3 (i take good care of it and only able to use it during vacations/breaks) ko and i'm still in love with it. pero parang feel ko tong paperwhite dahil may light na siya! something different.

i got a chance to use Google Nexus 7 tablet this afternoon.  mas effective ang touchscreen nito kaysa iPad versions. ang sarap mag-turn to next page.

i'm biased so i'll say go for Kindle  there's a new one i've heard. it's called paperwhite. if di kayo sanay na kelangan ng external light source, that kindle version comes with built in light. i still dont know any specific about the light thing. i have kindle 3, the one with keyboard, and considering buying a paperwhite din since it's different with the one i have. i cant compare with the other famous e-reader, yung Nook, kasi i dont have one.

same here lagi pang nalolowbatt phone ko..

nag pabili ako sa dad ko ng kindle paperwhite sa US kaso OOS naman so bumagsak sa nook tablet dahil na sales talk siya  sana maganda.. feel ko kasi mas ok ang kindle paper white kasi it claims na "designed for reading"

expect it to arrive earlier, 2 weeks earlier siguro. i ordered twice na, and 2 weeks earlier, or more pa nga ata, yung naging delivery.

merong mga sellers sa sulit na may paperwhite na mga sis. try to check

I'd say go for Kindle Fire HD. Super sulit, mas mura pa kaysa Ipad. If you want a paper-like ebook reader, try the  Kindle E-ink (69 usd) with wifi. Yun na pinakamurang ebook reader na worth it for me.
next on the price range would be barnes and noble's nook (88.75) , then paperwhite (119 usd); not sure how the 3G paperwhite would perform in Pinas (179 usd).

ako naman, i'd ask what format of ebooks are you reading?  if mostly ePub, i dont suggest Kindle.    pero kung marami naman kindle format and you dont mind converting your files to kindle format, go for Kindle devices. ok sya at mura pa.

[iwannabeasupermodel]

ang nainis lang ako initially sa kindle kasi mahirap gumawa ng gumawa ng collections if mag-mass transfer ka ng files (like mga 300 ebooks) tapos siyempre gusto mo iorganize yun. you cant make your collections kasi in calibre. di siya tulad na if you'll upload songs in your ipod, mabilis lang gumawa ng playlist. may ginamit akong software, nakalimutan ko na kung ano, idk if i'm doing something wrong. it's a hit and miss and when i try to fix the miss mawawala lahat ng pinaghirapan ko. buti na lang matiyaga ako. i did that a lot of times. failed a lot of times until i just manually made my collections sa kindle mismo.

i'm OC kasi. di ako mapakali if di organize yung ebooks ko. kaya ayun.

[blackshirt13]

^ frustration ko din yan dati sis. here's the answer to your problem:

yan gamit ko to organize the ebooks on my kindle on my pc. soooooo much easier than doing it on the kindle itself!

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^thanks sis! buti na lang ngayon patingi-tingi na lang ang pagtransfer ko ng files so di ko na hassle. useful yan para dun sa mga may bagong kindle. haha.

[blackshirt13]

^ yeah, at para sa mga kagaya ko na maramihan mag-transfer ng ebooks sa kindle.
