I heart my blackberry, and I heart ebooks–both of which are brand new obsessions.  Two months ago I had never touched either one.  I started on Blackberry when my brother got one free, and I started on eBooks when I got an iPod Touch for free (apparently I’m an opportunistic little sneak).  My B&N eReader was the first thing I downloaded on iPod touch because I was psyched to download me some eBooks, and I’ve been enjoying it ever since.  The pages flip instantly, there’s no delay, the download time is really quick and as soon as it’s downloaded (AND OPENED!) you can read without internet.

I hit a snag this morning when I downloaded Christine Feehan’s new Burning Wild (I love Christine Feehan’s Drake Sisters series, sick of her “Dark” series, figured I’d give the leopard series a shot).  I didn’t open the thing before I left so I couldn’t access it in the wi-fi less car dealership during my oil change, and I was bummed, so I went ahead and downloaded the BN eReader for my Blackberry.

Awesome: it works with my online account, so all books transferred right across, which is very handy.

Sucked: everything else.  There was a lot of delay with the trackball as opposed to the touch screen, and the Blackberry screen really is too small.  The font was weird too, but that might be my settings.

Also, for other apps, I’ve tried Stanza, and I like B&N better for new releases, but Stanza has a lot of free books and short stories on offer.  Never hurts!
