My reason was to be able to read books outside and in the wind.
I first got into electronic books with PDFs of The Shadow in 1998, and had started reading books on my phone in 2005 (My old handspring visor had noot been quite there yet for reading)
In 2009 I got my wife a Sony PRS-505, and myself a Gigabyte M704 UMPC.
The UMPC is no good for reading at the lake (Though it will run Diablo 2).
