Since getting an ereader, I've been through my collection of second-hand paperbacks. In many cases, I've given away the original book as soon as I could replace it with an e-version.
Many bog-standard paperbacks that are more than twenty years old have terrible yellowing of the paper as a result of its acid content. Even without this issue, a surprising proportion of books seem to have been published with little real care taken over the choice of typography and print layout.
One of the only things I can't (won't) do with an ereader that I can with a paper-back is read it in the bath. Good job both media are to hand!
