While I am a huge fan of Kindles and use mine religiously, I think in this instance I would stick with the print copy. While most of the novels I read are ebook, I find that reference materials/textbooks are much more user friendly in print, as they are easier to skim and flip back and forth.
i mean like if i were to go to a flea market and pull out a red book at a coin stall i dont want to look like im trying to find out if the dudes prices are crazy or not so i think if i have it on the kindle they will be less suspicous
Maybe not a Kindle, but tablet computers are becoming more and more common. They can hold your Redbook, wantlist, inventory, references, notes etc all in a one pound 6X8 inch device. I don't have one yet but I am currently working on getting all of my references set up to be able to import into one so I can stop hauling around a suitcase on wheels with all my references at shows. I mean I can put the entire five volumes of the Krause standard catalog in it and a lot more. That's over ten thousand pages of material. I don't see much use for a Kindle because all it is is a reader, but a tablet can do everything it can and a whole lot more.
i have all the KP publications world coins catalog on my smart phone, and hard drive / arcos pad. but ya know all this takes batteries the coolest thing is you can put stickky notes and stuff without marking pages.. look name a title i prolly got it.. i also have the cherry picker guide in print also, you need to have a decent library if you want to be a collector
My wife has a kindle, but I just use the kindle app on my iPhone and iPad. Since the account is the same on my phone and my ipad the books I buy are sent to both. Having the red book on my iPhone is a great tool, and I don't mind pulling it out when I am in a store or at a flea market booth.
