My New Birthday Gift

So, my birthday was last week and if you've been reading my blog you know that I buy myself something coveted and expensive every year (hey, if you don't spoil you who will. lolol). This year what I coveted was an eBook reader like the Kindle and the Sony Reader. After a few weeks of research I had it down to two choices....the Astak EZ Pro and the B&N Nook. What I wound up purchasing was the Astak EZ Pro because it read all eBook reader formats and I have a lot of books in MS Reader (.lit) format.



Well, lets just say after playing around with it for a little awhile I also wound up sending it back. Yes it read many formats, but not that well and if I'm going to pay over $200 for something I want it to do everything it says and do it well. So I went with my second choice the B&N Nook.



Can I tell you how much I love this thing.

1) It's beautiful to look at it with its 1.5 in touchscreen that helps navigate through the pages



2) It shows little colroful thumbnail of my book covers while I read my book




3) You can have a nice wallpaper for the main screen and beautiful screen saver of famous authors when my machine is in sleep mode



4) The biggest reason of all....it so easy on the eyes since it has this thing called e-ink which mimics the look of a paperback book.



This is the best purchase I've made so far. I've yet to put it down. I've been loading it with books, reading forums to find out if people have had problems with the machine and ways to maximize my experience.

The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it doesn't come with a case like the Astak did, but I'm a sewer right. I can make my own case. Happy belated bithday to me.

Happy Sewing!!!!!
