Musing Monday

Today's musing... "What devices –if any– do you read books on? Do you find it enjoyable, or still somewhat bothersome? Or: If you only read the print books, why haven’t you chosen to read on any devices?"

I actually have three ereaders... a Literati that I won in a contest, a Pandigital novel that was a birthday gift and a Kindle 4 that I purchased to travel with to Germany.

I think ereaders are great devices but I will never, ever give up "real" books. My main love of ereaders is the portability. I love being able to carry a smaller device in my bag and still be able to read that 800+ page tome that I'm reading. Yes, I usually carry big handbags but it's still nice when it doesn't weigh more than a toddler.

The Pandigital is really more than an ereader...it's a tablet! So, I can surf the web, read email and read books all in one nifty little device. One of my favorite things is to eat lunch by myself at Panera... I usually do it once a week or so. It's easier to read a book on an ereader there than trying to keep the book open while I enjoy my broccoli cheese soup and Greek salad.

As you may or may not know, I love accessories! So, it's no wonder that ereader covers are my new favorite thing! My husband actually made a custom cover for the Literati. I was looking at ereader covers on Etsy and found some that used real dust jackets. So, DH made one for me. He used a dust jacket of a book with a gorgeous cover. I love it because no one else has the same one and it looks like a real book! I found a really cute black faux croc cover at Kohl's for the Pandigital and a bright red one for the Kindle.
