Reading should be easy and fun with Sony eReader
Jul 7, 2010 eReader, Tablet Wi-fi/PDA
Today is my husbands birthday. Every year on his birthday he would always buy something nice for himself. Last year I think he bought shoes. I can’t really remember. Anyway for this year’s birthday he bought a Sony Reader at Borders. There are lots of ereaders out there right now so it was hard to decide which one to get. Before purchasing the Sony Reader he also considered getting the Kobo but unfortunately they didn’t have it in the store.
I’ve used the Sony Reader a few times already and I’m really impressed with it. There are tons of features that are pretty cool like the dictionary tool that lets you look up the meaning of a word as you read just by double tapping the word using the stylus or with your finger. It’s very handy and I think it’s one good reason to use an ereader. Also you can highlight some text that you like then add notes about it and store it for later use. You can also store music in the reader so that you can listen to music while you read. It’s very useful especially when you’re riding the bus or train where people are loud and you want to concentrate on reading.
The Sony Reader came with a computer program called the Reader Library where you can purchase and download ebooks. Downloading was fast and easy and transferring files was a breeze. The Reader can store about 350 ebooks using the internal memory and much more if you use the two slots for sd card and memory stick pro duo. Oh and of course, I have to mention how nice and elegant it looks compared to other readers out there. It is more practical than getting an iPad too.
Overall, my husband was very satisfied with his purchase. Also, according to him, the Kobo is also worth checking out. The screen is brighter and text is much darker although it just looks a little funky. Now that he has a reader, reading should be easy and fun.

N800 Next on Hand!
Feb 11, 2008 Tablet Wi-fi/PDA
Now, since I have a new phone which I’ve mention here… I’ve decided not to buy a smart phone for myself instead I want to buy an Internet Tablet like Nokia 800. It’s a portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades. Since the latest N810 internet tablet came out, the price of this one dropped to $200 from $399. But it has to wait until my paypal funds reaches the price of my desired gadget 
I’m so excited about this gadget because it has a built in microphone and web camera perfect for video chatting. Cool right? I just hope I can use it when doing an audio and video comment on my blog friends hehehe. Oh! not only that, it can also browse flash websites because it includes adobe flash player 9 plugin.
Actually we’ve been thinking of buying a new laptop because I totally own the laptop we have but Luvski also need to use the laptop to do his daily routine like reading his favorite websites. He can’t do that because I use the laptop almost everyday hehehe specially if I’m doing a wordpress theme. He can’t totally use the laptop. So, thats why I’m thinking of buying the internet tablet, it is more affordable than a laptop right? Luvski can use it too since he’s not doing other stuffs in front of the computer besides browsing the net. I love gadgets but I know my limitations when it comes to expensive ones. Why would I buy an expensive phone with real web browsing when there is another option that has the same features… right?
