Congrats! All these posts are great for affirming my purchasing decisions! lol.

1984 is a great book, but more relevant to the cold war era, I find. Today I find A Brave New World far more poignant as far as dystopian visions go. If you haven't read it I highly recommend it. Here's a nice comic summing up the difference between Orwell and Huxley's visions:

I feel the same way. I find myself wanting to repurchase all my physical book in ebook format, simply because I don't like the feel of a normal paperback anymore.

I repurchased all my preferred physical book in ebook format, because my PRS350 give me a far more better reading experience.
I recently started reading a paperback (The Codex by Douglas Preston), but after only a few pages I bought the ebook version !

That happened like 3 times the other day, and yesterday again with a different book. Then I realize I have to push the button and not physically turn the page...
I really love it.

Same thing over here, that's what made me buy a PRS-350 with a touchscreen. Now I am in ereaders heaven!

No, one can not go back again. Just started to buy all my favorite books as ebooks, but can't get everything I want (i.e. Fernando Pessoa)
