This is my opinion

If you are rich like Mammogram get the Ipod. If you are an average person like me get a Kindle Fire, which cant do it all as good but is still damn good. I would get it primarily as a reader but enjoy the added benefits





If I had an iPad I'd never read books on it. I'd sit in bed and browse the Internet.

That's why I stayed away from an iPad for my eReader.

I like the fact that I can surf on my color nook - but it's pretty clumsy and I'd only do it in a pinch.

buy an hp touchpad....there is probably still new ones floating around on ebay and stuff


they are virtually impossible to brick...large screen....webos is fully becoming openware....they are as impressive as any tablet on the market with the exception of app catalog...


but most importantly for your needs...they are a fantastic book reader with the free already loaded kindle app

My issues with Apple keeps me from giving them anymore of my money.. I like their tech but hate their software, it's like retarded chimps smashed it together with crude stone tools, customization is impossible and problem solving is even worse.

My main goal is just to have a paper free experience in college and that means having to suffer through some kind of pad probably, and a HD webcam to film the lectures.

I was reading an actual book the other day and I lightly swiped the page expecting it to work.

True story.

Get psp and load it with custom firmware and bookr. You can then put anything you want on it and have a full fledged ebook reader that will fit in your pocket. I've read well over 100 books on my psp.

Eh I wouldn't bother reading a book on a psp. Reading books on back lit devices blows imo.
