There are a whole lot of e-readers out there to choose from, and the e-reader is going to be the hot gift for the holiday season yet again.  However, how do you pick one?  Between dedicated e-readers like the Kindle and Nook or do-it-all devices like the iPad and Galaxy Tab, there’s an awful lot of options out there for someone who just wants to read on the go.  The truth is, these devices can be as complex or as simple as you want, but here’s a helpful comparison for telling what kind of e-reader you might want this holiday season.

I’m a simple person.  I like do-it-all things, but when it comes to a specific task, I want something that will excel at that specific task.  For me, the best e-reader I’ve gotten to play with has been the Amazon Kindle.  I’m not officially endorsing it, mind you, but I’m definitely pro it.  It’s just so easy to use and it reads as well as real paper does without the eye strain I can get from gadgets.  If I was getting one, it’d be that one.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]
