Do you still use CD's because they're more sturdy than an MP3 player?

My Nook Color is also the greatest bathroom device ever created.

With the logic that a paper book is less fragile than a tablet device? Yes, it's just me and that crazy "science" again.

And I would totally drop a Nook in the toilet.



Reminds me of how I used to be with sunglasses. I always bought cheap ones because they always got lost or broken. Then I bought some nice ones, and I pulled my head out of my ass and figured out how to take care of them properly.

I can be responsible all day long, but it doesn't fix clumsy.

And no, last year I bought an MP3 player. I like it better because there are no moving parts and no CDs to get scratched.

Not everything newer is necessarily better. I like the e-reader concept, but if I'm buying the device then I need to see a lower price point on the books. Otherwise make it a cell phone model where you charge me regular retail for the books but you give me the device.

it's a lot different than a cell phone, that's a terrible comparison

an ereader is nothing more than a luxury item I would say, and sometimes you pay for convenience

then again, you did mention you still own and use a VCR, soooo
