eReaders: Kindle vs. Nook vs. iPad (Read for CNET reviews)

Perfect for reading on-the-go, the Kindle and Nook are often highlighted for the eInk display, light weight, and excellent battery life for indoor or outdoor use. Meantime, the iPad has been considered a multi-tasking tool, a lightweight way to keep yourself tethered to the web. Here are some stylish options to deck your eReader or tablet out from JAVOedge.

Valeri from KindleBoards has shared her photos about her chosen prize as winner of JAVOedge’s first Mother’s Day Contest.

She chose the JAVOedge Flip Snake Skin Case for Amazon Kindle 2.

Here’s what she had to say about her gift prize:

“I was so excited to open up my mail box and find that the Javoedge case I won in the Mother’s day contest had arrived!!!

I waited patiently to open it… trying to wait till my husband got here so he could see it with me for the first time.  I picked up my oldest son, went to walmart, then we headed to the park… where I couldn’t wait any longer.  I sat on the park bench and opened up the box!

It is DIVINE! I’m telling you, simply Gorgeous!  I absolutely love how it feels.  I was pleasantly surprised that the inside lining is a deep dark brown, and not black.  I prefer brown, so this is really a wonderful surprise.  There is something about the deep browns that is comforting and warm to me.  The darkness of the lining makes the kindle screen just pop!  I can not believe the difference in the screen’s appearance between the two cases, its just crazy!  I loved my Lumberjack case, but I really LOVE the way the leather feels.  It feels more solid in my hands.  And I absolutely like the magnet closure better than the snap one.  Oh and I’m loving the flip style too!! I had the book style in the lumberjack.  The kickstand is wonderful!  We ate dinner at Mcdonalds, and while the kids played I was showing the new case off to Hubby, and it was just so cool having it just standing there while we were talking.  Love it!

The Snake Skin is really cool.  One of my kids came up to me and asked if it was Dinosaur skin!  The other said it looked like Dragon skin! HAHA.  Which fits, cause we all love dragons!  I told him it was dragon skin and that it would breath fire if anyone opened it but me! HAHA.”

What a great story from Valerie!

To commemorate the special loved ones in our lives, JAVOedge has decided to do a special contest  for Mother’s Day. Cue the aww’s. Awwww.
For all of us, our mothers or grandmothers were the ones who fostered a love for reading and for Mother’s Day 2010, JAVOedge is having its first Mother’s Day Contest to celebrate those special people in our lives, whether its a sister/mother/grandmother/etc.
Since it’s all about the love for reading, we are having 2 prizes: 1 for Nook owners, 1 for Kindle owners.

JAVOedge Mother’s Day Contest:

How It Works:
Join JAVOedge’s Facebook Fan Page. On our JAVOedge Facebook Fan Page wall, submit a short story about Mother’s Day about how your mom/wife/sister etc. inspired your love of reading. Indicate if you own a Nook or a Kindle and which JAVOedge case you’d like, based on criteria below.

Need some inspiration?

Here’s a short story from myself (haha, since I can’t participate in the contest)

“Hands down, my grandmother. She was the first person who really paid attention to me as a kid as my single-mom was busy at work and I would often be lonely at home. I still remember how happy I was when my grandmother took me in hand and we went on a field trip to the library…as a poor kid, I couldn’t believe I could peruse through all the books and check out as many books as I wanted on ANYTHING. I became a voracious reader. Thanks to my grandma, books became a wonderful release from my routine life and allowed me some fantastic imaginary experiences as a kid and now even as an adult.”

ValeriGail, a KindleBoards member, shared her outdoorsy snapshots of her spending quality time reading with the JAVOedge Lumberjack Book Style Case for Kindle 2. Perfect blend of reading and nature. Love how the case folds back flat so you can read easily with 1 hand. Thanks for sharing, ValeriGail! Doesn’t this make you want to go outside and do some spring reading?
