If you buy books from Amazon, they keep your books in store and you can access them any time and download them. Books from other sources you should save on your PC or on a hard disk and then move them to the new reader as needed.

I believe it's the same way with Nook. I think if I would have gotten another Nook, my Nook books would have transferred over. However, I really wanted to get an e-reader that made downloading/borrowing books from the library an easier process. The process of doing that with the Nook was way to confusing for me! I seemed to always mess it up!gali wrote:If you buy books from Amazon, they keep your books in store and you can access them any time and download them.
As it is - I can still read my Nook books on the Nook smartphone app, so they're not completely lost for me.

The kindle is fine as long as you don't read overmuch on it. Saying that, I couldn't be without it.

Amazon considers a normal reading between 20 - 60 min a day. I read several hr per day on my kindle.obiebookworm wrote:To gali: What do you consider "overmuch?"
