I wanted to say, well, what if you forgot to fill up your car with gas before a road trip?

Even books I put on there from other sources can be archived with B&N so that if I upgrade devices or lose mine I can still get my content.<br /><br />It's a lot like your mp3 player.....if you have one without a service associated with it then you simply back it all up on your computer or hard drive.<br /><br />It seems like once artistic endeavors begin to digitize it is a short run until that is the dominate way to disseminate it all.<br /><br />I have an e-ink kindle and a nook color, both are great in sunlight. The kindle is impossible in any type of darkness, but the nook is amazing in all settings.James R.

Or when the digital provider goes pissy on you, they make them unavailable. (it happened, but I'm not going to name names) and whether that's free samples (one of the nice things about ebooks or not) or paid, you've lost it. I have a kindle on computer and tablet. But, I can't get them to actually sync. So I have ten books available on on mechanism, but the last two that I asked to be sent to tablet, can't be found on my tablet. If my purse is stolen and I had a book in it, I'm only out that one book. If my tablet is in the stolen purse, I'm out a ton of books and no matter how much they say "it's on your x-file" the truth is, there are usually a limited number of downloads, and you may just be out your favorite book. Also, reading in the sunlight was impossible on my tablet. But, all that being said, it was nice to pack my tablet in my backpack for camping (reading in the shade worked okay:)and have access to lots of books for little room :D Right up until I lost the cord. Sigh. It's always something.Leonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786326364037397675noreply@blogger.com
