I can tell you that in my case it is the device that matters; content is available, even if not everything. I waited until the new Sony Reader came out before asking my family for a reader for Xmas. I have never read a book for pleasure on either my desktop or my laptop because it seems too much like being at work -- something I want to get away from when I read for pleasure. And I guess I'm one of the odd folks because I do not own an iPod-type device and if I did, I certainly wouldn't want to use it for reading (what are the screens 1 inch x 2 inches?).
