Does the wifi version mean you can only read books while you have internet access, or that you can only download the books while you have internet access? Basically, if I already have the books on the wifi version, do I need internet access to read them?

You don’t need internet access to read books that you already downloaded on the Nook. The internet access is just used for downloading books anywhere with wireless coverage. If you are comfortable with downloading books to your computer first then to the Nook, both versions make not much difference for you.

BTW, I’ve given a detailed comparison between the Nook and the Kindle previously, in another answer here. Guess it’ll help you decide which one to choose:

The international support of the Kindle means not only it can buy books through wireless without connecting to the computer, but also it can have web browsing through wireless to access websites like Wikipedia.

And recently, Amazon has announced an upgrade to its Kindle, to secure their market shares. See here for the update details:

I love to read and i have been thinking about getting one of those ebook readers. They seem super cool but i don’t know much about them except that you can read tons of books whenever you want. since they are a little pricey i want to know all about them before i buy it, like which brand is best, how they work, what exactly do they do, how to use it, etc. If you own one would you please share your experience with us, thanks!

There is a good simple article here talking about how the ebook reader like the Amazon Kindle (which is the most popular ebook reader) works:

And I suggest you to read this review from a top reviewer who is also a book lover, it outlines quite a lot of benefits of the Kindle and also why it is worth especially at the end of the review:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR9J54TZ1541OR%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Frdp%255Fperm&tag=more_info-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

And there are some websites, where you can find millions of free books for the Kindle, so that’s why you no longer need to get to library, you can actually own these books:

If you need to read PDF with charts and graphics, you may want to go for the Kindle DX. Read this review and you should be able to decide which one to get:

Hope this helps.

not sure about the Kindle 2, wondering if there is anything better out there…

I’ve given my opinion here on the most popular ebook readers in the market:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100514144151AAOaOja

The Nook is only available inside the U.S., and the Kindle has the best international support (including Australia).

I’ve become a little disappointed in how limited the selection is on a lot of e-book sites. I’ve tried project gutenberg, and it’s great, but there are a couple of newer titles I’ve been looking for that aren’t even available on my device’s respective ebook store. Does this just mean that these particular books are probably not available in e-book format yet? Any suggestions for websites that have a really good selection of e-books would be appreciated. THANKS!

theres 4shared.com. its not an e-book site, but i get most of my books from there. its basically where people just put stuff they have on the internet (music, pictures, books etc.) to share with other people, and they almost ALWAYS have what your looking for.

I have too many books and would like to downsize my possessions by getting an electronic book reader and purchase eBooks and possibly eTextbooks. Thank you in advance.

I own the Kindle. If you ask me to choose again now, I’ll still go for the Kindle instead of the Nook, because it has the text-to-speech function which means I can "read" books with my hands and eyes free to do other things. I use this function often when I’m on public transport, doing housework, etc. It is really a cool feature that cannot be missed.

I’m a college student and I’ve got some textbooks on my Kindle as well. It does save me some heavy weights and money. The web browsing function over wireless network on the Kindle (while the Nook only has web browsing over WiFi, i.e. only when you are around WiFi hotspot) is rather important as well. The free internet (and now it is free international internet) plus the web browser allow me to look for information whenever I’m in need. And right now it is free for both the U.S. and many other countries, it is just incredible when you bring it to trip.

And indeed, the Kindle has more available books, and ebooks are cheaper on the Kindle as well (Barnes and Nobles always count in the one million free books from Google, which can also be read on the Kindle. For Sony, many users complain it is difficult to find books for it).

And I remember I read these reviews when I decided to get my Kindle:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR2DUM7S4XW06QN%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ASIN%3DB00154JDAI%26nodeID%3D%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Fpr%255Fcmt&tag=elec-m-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

Finally, there are good offers for the ebook readers from Amazon’s site (the Kindle just had a price slash, in case you don’t know). I put the links below for you to check from time to time.

Hope it helps

Today we’ll be looking at the Aldiko e-book reader app for Android on our generic 7-inch, Android 1.5, RK2808 MID. Let’s get reading.

The Skinny

Aldiko is an e-book reader app for Android, its default package coming preloaded with two books: Sun Tzu’s Art of War and H. G. Wells’ The Invisible Man, arguably two classics and both classics for entirely different reasons. But to refrain from delving into my thoughts on the two preloaded books, we’ll look at Aldiko’s ability to download books from databases such as Feedbooks where there are thousands upon thousands of public domain as well as free self-published e-books, so quality will wildly vary.
