To me all it comes down to what you read.
There is a lot of good stuff out there for free, you might even say it takes the place of your local library.

But if you currently read 4 or more best sellers a month in mystery/thriller.
Chances are you are not going to be happy with what is available for free.
And there is a good chance that you will pay just about as much if not more to read those as Ebooks.

That is not to say that there are not other advantages, simple storage space for all those books is one of the big ones. Over time they do pile up. Even a modest 2gig SD card will hold a lot of books.

How well a Ereader will work for you, is going to be dependent on your reading choices and how much you read.

I think you'll find most of us here are addicts, books are our drug of choice.
Not addicting (although they can be habit forming)
No terrible physical or health side effects (although you might spend more time sitting than you should)
