I don't want to keep a shelf full of fiction books that I only read once or twice. I move too often and live in small apartments. I also live in a country that doesn't have an enormous market for books in my native language. I've been attracted to the concept of portable device ebook reading since I first picked up a Nintendo Game Boy. Netbook lacked a comfortable handholding design for reading, phones were a bit small, and neither had fantastic battery life.
The Sony I got isn't good ergonomically, has awful software, and I don't like the E-Ink screen, but the battery life is outstanding and the device is thin enough to drop into my bag easily.
The Pearl-generation devices might get me to upgrade, though I still hope for a much better solution in the future. The concept of ebook reading however remains something that appeals to me strongly and I will continue to support, with reservations.
