Ever since I can remember, reading has been one of my favorite activities. Throughout the years, I have acquired quite a library. Books are every where. Lo and behold, Barnes and Nobles has launched a new e-Reader called The Nook. It is supposed to be in competition with Amazon.com's Kindle.
With an e-reader, all of your books are digital.
Just like with an ipod, all of your music files and CDs are digital.
I am excited. It can hold 1,500 books and it also can hold a memory card. This means I can add up to 5,000 books. Oh, the possibilities are endless!
This e-Reader has wi-fi and Android technology. I can check my email. I can borrow e-books from the library, it reads pdf files, I can lend e-books to friends, it is an MP3 player, it can hold photos.
It will take some getting used to, but I will love having the extra space.
