I listen to a lot of audio books at the moment, however it's a limited media since only very popular books are available for audio book. Part of the reason for buying an eBook reader is to get back to reading books. I never did like the delay of ordering a book, nor do I like having to be in the house for when it gets delivered. There are of course book shops, but I don't like my local WH Smiths or whatever, the selection is poor, it's really just bestsellers and chewing gum for the brain type books, so it's a 10 mile trip to the nearest "proper" book shop, which puts me off. Then of course there's the annoyance of other people seeing what I'm reading. The idea of sitting on a plane reading
