I was pretty much dead set against getting an e-reader at first, in large part because one of my favorite activities when I'm back in the US is browsing my way through book stores (usually running up a big bill for myself and adding weight to my suitcase for the trip back).
But now that I'm in the situation where I won't be going back to the US on such a regular basis, an e-reader has a whole lot more appeal for a whole variety of reasons. I've got the groaning bookshelves, too, and no easy way to get rid of my read books, short of throwing them away (which I don't like doing because of my respect for printed books), so that's another factor.
I think each individual just comes to a point where the features of an e-reader start to make sense for them - or not. For some folks, it will be the ability to adjust the print size. For others, it may just be the time and interest in reading. But other people don't read anything but magazines (if those) and may never be particularly interested in an e-reader.
Cheers,
Bev
