This article has some really interesting points. One thing I hadn't realized (not having bought an eBook reader yet), is that eBooks can cost as much or more than a paperback. I always wait for books to come out in paperback, and buy them as cheaply as possible - usually the mass market edition. Maybe as more people start buying eBooks, the price of those will start to come down, too.

Anyway, I'm definitely going to take the author's advice, and wait a month or so before getting an eBook reader, if I don't change my mind by then.
If it's fiction and the price is $9.99 or less, yes, it is worth buying.
