I read and purchase e-books. Currently, I read them on my laptop, which I directly download them. However, I’ll be the first to admit reading an e-book on the laptop is not a comfortable thing. You can’t curl up in bed with the laptop, those with my padded lap desk I do. The lap desk prevents the laptop “hot legs” syndrome, as I like to call it. But the laptop is heavy, and takes forever to turn off and on.
I want an e-reader device. Either the Sony or the Kindle. There’s also something called the E-Reader Bookman but from what I’m reading for reviews, the battery life isn’t so hot.
First choice is the Kindle. (Insert angelic music here.) The Kindle is the holy grail of e-reading devices. You can download at the blink of an eye. The price scares me. The Sony Reader is a little less costly. I will probably end up with the Sony. Wanted to get up to Borders to check them out this weekend, but time got away from me.
Do you read e-books? What device do you read them on?

I read mine on my laptop, unless I'm going to be 'comfy' or elsewhere, and then its my netbook all the way. :)

I'm an e-book hog. I read them on my mini laptop, usually with the lights out before bed. Great blog. Thanks for sharing.
I read ebooks but I have a mini laptop that I read them on and absolutely love it. It runs about the same price as ereaders.

I read mine mostly on my laptop but do spend some of my time reading them on my iPhone! I really want the Kindle and some day my friend Val will win on and I will be her willing slave forever. :)
I'm like you, and use the laptop. I want an e-reader, but they are so pricey.
I never thought about a mini laptop. Do they heat up after prolonged use like a laptop?
They can but I don't think they get as hot as bigger laptops. Also I have an external hard drive that holds massive amounts of ebooks. So far I have absolutely loved it. It has a bigger screen for reading but is still small enough to take anywhere.
