E-Readers

A few months ago I picked up the Kobo e-reader from Borders. It's a small, light unit and can store a considerable amount of e-books on it. The battery life lasts quite a while, actually I've gone a few days without charge and I read a lot. The screen isn't great though and you can get a headache reading for too long a time. When I saw a coworker's Barnes and Noble Nook Color, I knew I had to get one. So now I've had it for two weeks and I love the picture on it. Reading magazines, especially those like Reader's Digest and Guitar World, which have lots of color pictures, couldn't any better. The online capability is easy to access when one is in a Wi-Fi spot (not so with the Kobo). It's easy to download books. The only flaw with the Nook color is the battery life, not nearly as long as the Kobo. Of course it has a lot more going on, it's almost like a tablet.
