Up until a couple of months ago, I wasn't sure if there was a point in getting an e-reader, as I already had a couple of iDevices. However, I'm very glad I bought my Kobo Mini... for the current price ($40), it is just not worth NOT getting one IMO. I can read it without as much eye strain, and can easily see the screen when outside in the sun. My hubby also got an eReader at the same time and loves his - he is constantly using it. They are particularly great for going on holiday, and sitting by the pool.
