I was one of those people who held partly because of price, but also due to DRM. Once the price dropped I decided to get one because my book didn't always fit into my bag.

Now that I have one, I wish I would have gotten one sooner. I could easily see myself spending 200$ or so for an ereader. I am looking at getting a second for epubs.

I know DRM keeps several other people away. Others are bothered because they can not loan books out. People want ebooks to be like books.
