Depends what forum you are on. I'm on several where tablets rule the day. Sony was quite popular until recently and Kobo e-readers rule quite well in Canada and are fairly popular in the UK and other places in Europe! I have a Kindle, but if I get another reader, it would likely be a Kobo or an android tablet.

Kindle, the first generation, because that way you're not tempted to use the internet.

I have my iphone, and it really isn't that great for reading :P
I hear that Kindle Fire is a pretty good device for reading though!

I love my iPad for reading books. I like being able to have a single device with me for all of my entertainment on the go.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite and its great! I love that they tried to make the pages and letters seem book like. The in-built reading light doesn't hurt either.

I have a kindle fire (original one) and an iPad. I did all my reading on the kindle or physical book up until a few months ago. It's just easier when in the go to take the one device, so I read on my iPad now. I like it better because of the bigger screen. Depending on the book though, I am still very fond of having a physical book in hand. I'm reading a lot of self help and marriage recovery books lately and to have the ability to mark pages, sticky note them, etc is refreshing!

It's kind of a pain to play because you have to find clues, but there you go!

I love my Kindle! I use it only for reading and I find it more reliable than reading on a tablet/smartphone because the battery lasts so much longer. Plus you never have to worry about storage space. It's my most prized possession.

I have an iPad for the fact you can use it for the 3 main readers allowing for the ability to get the best price.

You took the words right out of my mouth!


I have a Nook from long ago and when it was time to upgrade it I decided to look in to the ipad...
I now have one and my opinion is: hands down it was the best choice for me!
I have all my previous Nook books available, ibooks has some good [cheap] reads and I downloaded the Kindle app so my friends that have Kindles can lend me books too!
It's the best of three worlds! :wink:

I gave my old Nook to my 11 year old son who always had a hard time getting through a book, it's the best thing ever for him! He doesn't realize how 'thick' the book is/would be and he actually asks to take it in the car because the wind won't move the pages! Honestly I think he reads faster on the Nook than a paperback too! :D
