Can’t wait any more
Thanks for offering all these cool contests, NarniaFans.com! I would have totally entered for a ticket to the Ice Palace event if I had been able to find transportation! However, I’m going to enter this one!
Don’t have a reading device… otherwise I would enter.
My grandfather has an iPad, though! He works for the Mac store.
I HATE KINDALS AND OTHER ELECTRONIC BOOKS!! They ruin the fun and pleasure of reading! They are SO stupid!
Wow, are you having a bad day today? I own a Kindle, and can tell you this: they take nothing from the fun and pleasure of reading. In fact, they enhance it for me in a way: I don’t have to hold the book open to the page I’m on, nor do I need to have a bookmark. Reading from a Kindle is like reading a book, but you have to actually read a book on a Kindle to understand.
Exactly right Paul! My brother was given an ipad from the army and it is so cool, and you are right, It enhances the book. The default book was Winny the pooh and it was so cool reading that on the ipad and almost felt more magical when reading it! I hope my brother enters this contest! and good luck to anyone else who is! (WarriourOfNarnia: I do kinda know what you mean… at first I thought it was such a stupid idea reading off a screen, but once you own one or read on one you will instantly love it!)
I’ve never read anything on an iPad. (Needless to say, I think it might be similar to reading on a computer screen.) Reading on a Kindle is different, because it feels like you’re reading a book. It’s not a backlit screen, it’s e-ink based.
I’m almost positive that its a ink based one, because it does not feel like you’re reading off a screen!
e-Ink is very different, though… I know what you’re thinking, but if you take a look at a Kindle, Nook or eReader sometime, you’ll know the difference instantly. 🙂
ok… I looked it up and this is what it says, “The iPad is indeed a useful, entertaining, engaging and disruptive product, but is it really a better reading device than the traditional e-Ink readers currently on the market? We put the iPad’s backlit IPS LCD screen to the test and compared it to its competitors under various lighting conditions.” so I guess you are right that it isn’t e-ink. here is a link that show the difference between the screens: (although the Ipad looks really bright it isn’t that bad) http://www.zdnet.com/photos/ereader-screen-showdown-ipad-ips-led-backlit-lcd-versus-e-ink-displays/415140
Haha… Looks like they took the character descriptions from a not-so-good edition of the Chronicles… HOWEVER, the e-book looks very nice, and good luck to all who enter! I have nothing to read it on, lol, so I’ll refrain from entering :P. Good luck!
