Portable DVD player, ebook reader, laptop: Multiple devices or just one?
My daughter will need a laptop computer next fall for college. She'd like it now, but she needs it then. She'd also like a portable DVD Player and/or an ebook reader now.
Her birthday is tomorrow. I could get her a portable DVD player, or an ebook reader, but is that a waste of money since a laptop can play DVDs & display ebooks? Is there a legitimate reason to have multiple devices?
Do you think she will really use them if you bought her all the devices? If yes, then it is no problem to get them all for her, as those devices bring convenience and should help her fully utilize her time. However, if you expect her to get the devices only for newness and use the devices for just a while, then it is no good...
I want to mention more about ebook reader, because I have a Kindle and really like it. If you don't know much about it, there is a simple article here talking about how it works:

Basically, Amazon provides books for the Kindle cheaper than actual books, so it has saved me quite a lot of money. Right now I've read over 10 books with the Kindle, and I really like the idea that I can bring and store all the books with the handy device. Besides, it uses the e-ink technology, so even I read with the device for long hours, I don't feel tired.
One more good thing for the Kindle is that there are some websites providing free books for the Kindle. This site is the biggest, it provides over 20,000 free books available in Kindle format:

I'll suggest you to read this review too, it outlines quite a lot of benefits of the Kindle, especially in the last two paragraphs:

Hope this helps you making up your decision.
