Title: What are you reading?
Post by: michigannurse on December 13, 2012, 08:53:54 AM: Hello everyone. I am new to the forum and would like to know if you use your nexus 7 for reading books....and if so, what are you reading. I am currently reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and Pride and Prejudice. The Nexus makes a for great reader and let me know what you're reading with yours.

Post by: Babyfacemagee on December 13, 2012, 12:16:50 PM: 'Outliers' by Malcolm Gladwell. Sorta the anti-Ayn Rand. Good read and reaffirms a lot of what I've thought about the support systems that create success.

Post by: Belisarius on December 13, 2012, 01:05:38 PM: I'm reading the Wheel Of Time series, By Robert Jordan. Since I am still annoyed With Amazon over my experience with the Kindle fire HD, I bought these books from the google play store. I actually like the play books app better than the Kindle app.

I prefer tech news apps like Flipboard, Dribbler, NVision. I read allot of comics on my comiXology app and I just bought my first Magazine on Play Magazines....yes it was an Android magazine... ;)

We're in agreement on Google Currents. I like it so much that I've uninstalled Flipboard on all of my gear.

Post by: birdastrompgman on December 14, 2012, 03:17:51 PM: I'm 13th & 5th on my county library's waiting list for the 2nd & 3rd books in the Hunger Games trilogy. My library system has 11 ebook licenses for those books, so I hope my wait isn't too long.

I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow. 49.6 mpg avg for 38k miles in non-hybrid Scion xB

Post by: birdastrompgman on December 24, 2012, 03:30:07 PM: I was disappointed to find my library book was an audiobook. I prefer turning pages by myself at my own pace. I finished the book ""Catching Fire," & am 2 of 6 on the wait list for "Mocking Jay."
