Stop me before I buy another eReader

[elizilla]

Woot.com has the Kindle DX today. This is the one with the huge screen. I have my whole library stored in ePub, so I'd have to convert things to mobi to put them on it. Not that hard, just silly that the various companies continue this war over formats. With the mad rush to tablets, I doubt we'll see another eInk reader this large, so if I wait for format sanity to arrive I might just miss out entirely on getting the large size. Tempting...

NO! Be strong! The ones you have are big enough, right? At least until you need reading glasses and large print, which I think is years off.

I have reading glasses now. :) But I can still read novels just fine on the 6" screen.

Its the lifetime free 3G that is calling you right?

[elizilla]

Not really. I have two smaller eReaders that don't have it, and I never miss it. I just think that there are times when the bigger screen would be nice.

I managed to not buy it and the temptation went away. It did not sell out, so I expect I'll get another chance later, perhaps for less money. Eventually I expect that price and temptation will intersect. :)

I'm still using a DX, and still liking it quite a bit. I've burned through six of the Miles/Cordelia books now. Thanks again.

That anonymous comment was me.

As for large screens, I'm still quite happy with my Sony PRC950...
