Sometimes we have to splurge on ourselves, right? Our school library is introducing eBooks to our students this year! Our school system has received a technology grant. With the increasing popularity of eBooks, we thought it was time to embrace this new technology. The library media specialist has an iPad. I've been using googlebooks on my phone up to now. When searching for that perfect gift for my family, I saw the Nooks available at the nearby Barnes and Noble. Why choose Nook? #1 answer - Convenience. The store is nearby so if I should have any problems with my eBook, I could drive 10 minutes away for easy tech support.
The next decision? Which one to choose. I personally chose the Nook Simple Touch. I have a smartphone and a laptop. Although the Nook Color and Nook Tablet have intriguing features like color and... the sole purpose of my purchase was to have an eReader. The price was a factor too. (My trip out WAS to get Christmas presents for my family)
