I read on my PSP, and then i bought the first Netbook available when it was the same price as a kindle, than 6 months of that I started developing Eye stain Issues so i made the Jump to Eink. it was either that or quit reading. and ive only just started reading seriously for the first time in my life and i didnt want to give that up.
In my Library Thing(signature), save for 2 books on that list, I read them as ebooks in the last year. I didnt count anything ive ever read before then. because mostly that was for school and i didnt like them (Ethan Frome anyone? comon...)
The Door Into Summer was my First Real book Bought for me... I dont know who bought it for me, but it is the first thing that got me into reading. and i own Enders game. which i bought after reading the Ebook Of it. because it seriously changed me.
Ebook Readers are for serious readers, but almost all who buy ebook readers become serious readers.
