Kindle, Touch, Fire, Nook ... or iPad?
I've read dozens of reviews, and seen scattered opinions on HTLAL, but I still can't figure out which one is ideal from a language-learning perspective. I have a regular Kindle, it's been liberating, but now that I'm reading more and more in foreign languages I'm running into its limitations & am thinking of an upgrade. I think I spend half my time toggling, especially in difficult passages. Does a touch screen make it easier to look up words, or switch between texts? The Kindle gets especially cumbersome if I want to cross reference a passage with an English translation. And, how do these new eReaders handle pdf's? They're pretty much useless on a kindle, and I would love to be able to download and use courses like FSI on a device. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

With regard to reading pdf's on a kindle, I just put on reading glasses and do not have
much of a problem. In addition to what you have asked, I would like to know what Spanish dictionaries everybody is using. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Nook's are good with pdf's. I've uploaded a few to mine! Also, there are ways to convert
formats online, so getting a Nook wouldn't limit you from using things you buy on Amazon, etc... 1 person has voted this message useful |
