Just Bought A Kobo Touch. Any Questions?
Today at lunch I stopped by my local Borders and picked up a Kobo Touch. I chose it over the new Nook Simple Touch for many reason, which I will go into later when I write up a full review. Said review will probably wait a week or two so I have time to use the device. Though you might see a quick "initial thoughts" kinda post in the next few days.
With all that said..if you have any questions about the Kobo Touch, let me know by leaving a comment in this post. I'll do my best to get you an answer. If you wondering what a Kobo Touch is, see the Kobo Touch product page here.
Free E-Book: The Weight of Blood by David Dalglish
In case you are looking for something new to read this weekend, the first book in the (5 book) Half-Orcs series is currently free. The rest of the books range in price from $1.99 to $3.99. You can find my review of The Weight of Blood here.
New Nook Simple Touch Reader Reviewed At Engadget
Just a quick passing on of some information...engadget has just posted their review of the new nook touch e-ink reader. Their review is mostly positive other than a couple of minor issues. Also, while originally the new nook was scheduled to ship June 10, some folks are reporting that they received an email yesterday saying their nooks were shipping today. If you order today, it looks like it will ship in the next 24 hours (I just put one in a cart to check the shipping time, and it says "usually ships within 24 hours").
I am still on the fence between this and the new kobo..but since this runs Android, I bet it will get rooted. I don't expect to turn this e-ink device into a tablet or anything, but rooting it might open it up to more book formats. And maybe the ability to add more fonts, font sizes, etc. At least that is my hope. Who knows, I might talk myself into ordering one of these by the time I post this blog article.
Ebook News: Dragonlance Legends Now Available
I like to post news of older books appearing in ebook format, so I have to mention this. If you are a fan of the Dragonlance Legends series by Weis & Hickman (many Dragonlance fans like it even more than Chronicles, though I think I prefer Chronicles myself), you can now buy each book in the series in Kindle and Nook book format. Finally! Needless to say, I added these to my Amazon Kindle wishlist.
