The only e-books I've downloaded so far are PD and legal freebies. I have a large collection of dead tree books I'm cutting apart and scanning and I still read the newest aquisitions although I'm about to the point I'm going to start cutting them up and scanning them before reading. E-books readers are more convenient to lug around than a DTB as long as the reader will fit in my purse (it is disconcerting to leave the house without a book in tow; I keep looking at the empty car seat thinking I've forgotten something.) I'm also finding it more convenient to read off my TV than to hold onto a book, especially if I'm laying in bed. There are plenty of PD books available and, since it won't cost anything to try them, they can keep me amused for some time to come.
