Loving my nook!

Just in case you have a reader on your gift list and are on the fence about e-readers: I love my book!

It’s the plain e-ink original version — not the fancy color tablets — and it goes with me everywhere.

I was a voracious reader as a kid but school killed my passion with its dusty old reading list of dry classics. Although I read many magazines through the years I couldn’t get back into books until the nook came along last December.

And I can’t tell you exactly why, but it’s easier to carry my nook than to carry a flimsy paperback or a heavy hardcover. The nook remembers what page I’m on. And, of course, I can carry more than one book at a time.

I have no desire to upgrade to a color reader. We’re getting an iPad in the near future and I don’t need all of the bells and whistles that accompany the new models.

They’d only distract me from reading. 🙂

    when i was looking for my reader i had considered the nook color only because then the kids books would be in color. then i decided i really wouldn’t want to share it. I went with the kindle instead and love it for all the same reasons that you listed above. i always have it with me so i can read even when i only have a few minutes and am somewhere that i normally wouldn’t have brought a book.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
