I'm a bookworm.
I love the smell of paper. I've already had two large cupboard for my books collection.
That's why it's really hard for me to consider buying e-book.
In the past, reading an e-book was valid for me only if I've already bought the actual copy of the book.
But a few days ago, I made a decision, "Let's try buying an e-book".
50 Shades of Grey is listed in Goodreads, Bookdepository, NY Times Bestseller, etc. Since the original format for this 50 Shades Trilogy is an e-book, so I think, okay then, let's try.
First of all, I search into the Google Play for some e-book reader app.
After browsing through some apps I decided to try Kobo.
I like simplicity, and I could sync between desktop, Android, Apple devices and Blackberry. (I only have the 1st gen iPod Nano and I'll never buy a Blackberry, so it's not really important tough)
It also compatible with some e-book reader. Kobo itself have a product named Kobo-eReader.
The files format supported: Adobe DRM and e-pub.
The other reason why I choose Kobo is ..... I like to collect awards. :D
Kobo has Reading Life features.
It provides some collectible award such as:
- Reading Life: Your digital Reading Life has just begun
- I love my Library: You've started to build a digital library with Kobo
- Once Upon a Time: You started reading a new book
etc....
You could see the default awards are already available in the Reading Life.
Some of the other awards are hidden at the beginning, and it will show up according to your reading habit.
So far I've unlocked Page Turner (2H), Primetime, Better in Bed.
Other features:
- sharing into Facebook timeline
- sharing into Kobo Pulse
- custom reading setting
- appearance: Classic (white background, black text), Sepia (beige background, black text), Night ( black background , white text)
