I have both the iphone and the kindle reader. I use the iphone more often. I love it. Kathy Spielman Library Media Technician Yorba Linda Middle School 4777 Casa Loma Ave. Yorba Linda, CA 92886 kspielman@pylusd.org <mailto:kspielman@pylusd.org> -----Original Message----- From: School Library Media & Network Communications [mailto:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU]On Behalf Of Gail Smith Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 5:18 AM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: Re: [LM_NET] Tar: Kindle vs. nook vs. Sony ereader I have recently purchased a new iPhone and have downloaded and read several books on it. It has a backlight so this would solve your dark-ish room problem. The iPhone screen is small, but that is a mixed blessing. I have to tap the screen to turn the page frequently, but it is just a quick tap and so is not particularly bothersome. On the upside, the little phone is always with me and available without pre-planning. It also eliminates the weight and bulk of the larger eReaders in my purse. The iPhone runs only on AT&T, so that might be an issue, but the even smaller and lighter iPod touch offers the same basic features-minus the phone, of course- and is reasonably priced considering what it offers. Just something to consider...
