New Toy
For my birthday this year, Adam gave in to my demands (“buy me this or I’ll continue to spend $50+ a week on books!!”) and bought me a Sony E-Reader Touch.
I. Am. In. Love. This thing is fricken awesome! I can shop for e-books on either the Sony book store site or really anywhere on the web that sells books in the supported formats. I’ve only downloaded PDFs so far, but I’ve been able to find almost every book I’ve looked for. The e-reader also supports word docs and text files. Specs can be seen on the Sony website here.
4shared.com and scribd.com offer some pdf files for free, and I have to admit I’ve probably saved around $500. If you look hard enough, you can find ANYTHING on the internet. :)
So, I now have about 115 books on my trusty reader, and I have been enjoying it everywhere. It is especially fabulous for when I travel, but equally awesome at the gym. Since I can change the text size to GIANT, it’s easy to read while running on the treadmill or using the elliptical trainer. Also because reading hooks me so well… it makes for longer workouts. Today I was on the elliptical for 65 minutes before I realized I should probably work on abs… I got about halfway through my newest Charlaine Harris “Grave” series novel!
Anyway… highly recommended. :)
