For me, it all started when I found out that I could use my iPod Touch as an ebook reader. I'd wanted one of the Sony Readers for quite some time, but I didn't have the money for it. So I made do with the iTouch, and was actually pretty happy with it. I built up a nice little library there. When I got the Sony Reader for Valentine's Day, I didn't see the point of replicating the library across two devices-- and in truth, I actually enjoy some of the features on the iTouch reading apps-- so I bounce back and forth between the two, keeping a few books going simultaneously on each. Also, I'm more apt to have the iTouch in my pocket when I'm out somewhere, with a few minutes downtime... so I get a fair amount of reading done on each.
