It depends on cost and your needs. You can get a Kindle for $139 at Staples. If all you want to do is read books, that's the device to get. If you want to do more than read books, I would look at the new Nook, which goes for $250 and begins to creep into tablet territory. Here's a little overview I wrote about it in October: http://www.fiercecontentmanagement.com/story/new-nookcolor-more-tablet-ebook-reader/2010-10-27 Ron -- Ron Miller Freelance Technology Writing Since 1988 Editor, FierceContentManagement Contributing Editor, EContent Magazine Co-founder, www.socmedia101.com blog: http://byronmiller.typepad.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ron_miller Winner of Apex Award for Publication Excellence/Feature Writing 2006-2008 On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 4:02 PM, Izzy Gesell <izzy at izzyg.com> wrote: > ** Be sure to fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > > Hi Folks > > > > I’m ready to buy one or the other.
