I don't have 3G, I guess I don't even understand what that is, but I am able to get on the internet with my reader as long as they're a WiFi nearby. Here in the house we have a wireless network so I can get on and download anytime<br /><br />I can surf the net and get e-mail on my reader which is why it's important to have color.<br /><br />Just my two cents.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475380451527801666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182996697923712663.post-16686587582322500542011-06-27T18:53:44.003-05:002011-06-27T18:53:44.003-05:00I forgot to add that I have my Nook with me, just ...I forgot to add that I have my Nook with me, just like I have my cellphone...at all times. How wonderful it is to read while waiting for Louie in a sporting goods store, etc, and ESPECIALLY in the drs office. I am never bored waiting anymore. In fact, just when I get comfortable and into the story, I get interrupted!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994575359990994574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182996697923712663.post-49350567803636018572011-06-27T18:52:01.486-05:002011-06-27T18:52:01.486-05:00I have the Nook 3G/WIFI.

I really only use the WIFI when I buy or download a free book, otherwise, I don't use it. I love the Barnes and Noble site. You can go in there and search for book with the price lowest to highest, and find lots of free books. <br /><br />I only tried to use the internet once, and that is when I was in Dubuque waiting for my sister to get a tooth pulled. The screen is so small you have to do a lot scrolling back and forth. A netbook or laptop would be better.<br /><br />As for reading, I never read much, at least since I discovered internet access at work, but I'm off the computer most times now that I have my Blackberry. I can get my email on my phone, respond to emails, and text. I check blogs from home now. I spend my breaks reading , and I love it. I realized that being on the computer, checking FB, etc was too stressful during my workday. Reading relaxes me. I LOVE MY NOOK. <br /><br />If I knew what I was doing, I could get free books to read from my library, but I don't, and I have been satisfied so far with the free ones (which usually lead me to buy 2 or 3 more in that series), but I am very happy with my Nook. <br /><br />Whatever you get, I know you will love. I do have the 3G and there are no fees to use a connection...you just have to be able to get one...and since I got my Nook, the new Color one has been very popular, but with just text reading for me, unless I replace my Nook some time in the future, I am happy with what I have.<br /><br />Hope that helped.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994575359990994574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182996697923712663.post-86703592360095341882011-06-27T18:15:24.337-05:002011-06-27T18:15:24.337-05:00The sole decisioning factor for me was being able ...The sole decisioning factor for me was being able to get e-pub library books. That meant that I ended up with a Nook. I didn't get the 3G as I figured I'd always either have sufficient books already loaded to read or would have easy access to wifi.Jackie's Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728521317964661942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182996697923712663.post-46056743315809239702011-06-27T09:37:21.921-05:002011-06-27T09:37:21.921-05:00Forgot to say that if you want to be able to acces...Forgot to say that if you want to be able to access the internet a netbook? (mini computer) might be your best bet. You can put the Kindle app and the Nook app both on those! blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182996697923712663.post-15938106370812175572011-06-27T09:35:57.021-05:002011-06-27T09:35:57.021-05:00I've had a Kindle for a couple of years Lori, ...I've had a Kindle for a couple of years Lori, and I love it. Wouldn't travel without it! I only have WiFi and don't want the 3G because that's a monthly charge I don't need. I have downloaded books traveling in the truck down a highway in Colorado so it works in pretty remote areas. When I bought mine the ad sponsored screen wasn't available and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I have noticed some pretty good deals on some of the ads they get - some I would have taken advantage of if they were available to me. There's a blog that posts every day the new free books - http://blog.booksontheknob.org. I have it on my reader and check it every day because when a book is free it might only be free for a day. Many are books I won't read but there are some really good ones scattered in there. You can choose to download them or not but usually I just download everything, read a page or two, then delete them if I don't want to keep them. If you can check weather, etc. I don't know it and I'm pretty sure you can't. They do have some features that you might want to read about on the website - sending documents, etc. I don't do anything but read on mine. I have a game or two on there because they were free but I've never played them. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.com
