I just recently got an iPad but I prefer my Sony PRS-650 for book reading. I use Bookman on the iPad for reading comics.

I don't see this changing. I really like the e-ink screen for reading.

Now reading Dead Tree Edition books, that is freakin' weird. I have a really hard time with it. A friend gave me a book for our Holiday exchange at work and the first thing I did was look for ebook of it. Sadly, it would have cost me almost $20 to get an ebook of a book I already had in my hands. I broke down and read the paper version but it felt...wrong. it sounds like sacrilege in a house full of avid readers and lots and lots of books.

Then again, with eight people in our house we have two PRS-505s, one 600, one 650, two 300s and a nook. The only person who does not have an ebook reader is my six year old. It is only a matter of time.
