Curious as to why all you ultimately bought an ereader .
My reason was because my eyesight took a major nosedive and I needed to be able to read large print. Also, the books on tape were driving me nuts
I bought my Nook five days ago and have downloaded almost 60 books. With the Nooks extra extra large font, my glasses and a magnifying glass, I am once again able to read a book!!!
Oh, and one more reason I just thought of: Being able to download free from the library gives me a little more independence (I don't have to rely on someone to drive me to the library.
