Which one do you guys use?
I have been avoiding Amazon for a while now, and that is the only eReader available in my country, apparently. So I thought I would ask you guys!
May be you do not like eReaders? May be you use your eReader for only a _few_ of the books? May be you just cannot let go of the pbooks?
Here is where I stand at: I used to have a Kindle 3 years ago. I read all my novels on it while I had it. I took it on flights, trains, taxis.
It was amazing having the book I'm reading with me all the time. It was amazing being able to buy any book, or review them before buying. It was amazing not having to worry about big and heavy books. It was fun having facilities such as bookmarks, dictionaries etc.
It it was not fun not being able to stand in front of my bookshelf and looking at the books. It was not fun not being able to lend the books to others. It was not fun not being able to flip pages rampantly.
I found it completely useless for my technical books.

I use a tablet with the brightness to the minimum (I read at night) with an app that allows to change even the colour of the light(Twilight is the name of the app). The eyes don't get so many light before going to sleep.
You might liek to take a look to fread.ink if you want to use something different from amazon.
Sorry for not being able to propse something more useful ;)

I use a Kindle Paperback (one of those with LED light) for reading, but I’ve always preferred physical books (at least when I can afford them) I don’t use Amazon though to get books, but instead I transfer them from my computer to the Kindle.

Do you buy them? If so, from where? If not, do you (plan to) send donations or something else?

I normally get my books from Project Gutenberg to make a “proof-read”, then if I like it, I buy it either in physical or in various online e-book stores, normally eBooks.com
