I get those Borders Rewards newsletters with coupons off books and all the latest news from Borders. Lately there’s been a lot of talk about ereaders – dozens of new devices are coming onto the market and what started as a vague novelty interest on my part has slowly turned into actual intrigue. This morning I was reading about one of Borders’ newest acquisitions the Cruz Tablet which is actually both an e-reader and a tablet PC – another new technology we’ve been hearing a lot about. It makes sense to me that they’d want to combine these two markets and the Cruz runs Android which makes the geek in me squeal with delight!

Now I wonder, would buying something that is just an e-reader be silly with the way technology seems to be heading? I don’t know. And the technology is so new that the Practical Jen in my head says, “Slow down! Wait until they’ve really had some time on the market before considering one. Besides you shouldn’t be spending frivolous money right now anyway.” Meanwhile the Jen Who Likes Stuff says, “You’re thinking about buying a little mini laptop soon – for the same price you could get that Cruz Tablet which would essentially accomplish the same thing in a smaller package with an e-reader built in. It’s where technology is heading – get on board!” I don’t know what I’ll end up getting yet or even if I’ll be getting anything or when, but in the meantime I know I’ll be scanning reviews, taking notes and daydreaming about Future Jen With the Cool New Gadgets.

So my Aloha Friday question this week is:

Do you own or want to own a netbook, tablet PC like the iPad or an e-reading device like the Kindle, Kobo, Cruz Tablet or Reader?

If money were no object, which one would you want to buy?
