Yup. And one other person who I know who owns an e-reader.
Except for portability maybe, but I don't generally need more then one book on a trip.

Nope, I was asking why buy e-readers. I pay for books and so do many other people I know, but all in paper form.

Of course I read digital books, why would I be here otherwise. Paper books still have a special appeal for me.
And it seems most people still prefer paper to electronics by far, free or otherwise.
