Funny, that's my usage pattern too. I've got 6 books going on 5 readers now. I don't know why, but that preference just evolved on its own. It's not like it's so difficult to tap around to another book on the same e-reader.

Ditto. How else to be tempted to get another device of the same core function?

Ditto, but I concocted rationalizations at the times of purchase.
My accumulation progression, not counting tablets and phones:
1. Sony PRS-505 (~$250?): Free classics!
2. Kindle 3 Keyboard ($189): Free Amazon ebooks! Free Calibre newspapers and magazines, automagically delivered!
3. Sony PRS-350 ($75 refurb): A pocketable reader, at almost half off!
4. Sony PRS-350 ($75 refurb): Better get a backup, 'cause nobody's making 5" Pearl screens anymore!
5. Sony PRS-350 ($37.50 refurb): Who can resist at that price!
6. Kindle Paperwhite 2 4GB No-SOs ($89): Built-in light, at the lowest price yet!
(They're all in perfect condition. Making the backup of the backup especially foolish.)
