As soon as I heard ereaders were on the market I wanted one. I kept up to date with e-ink technology and read anything I could on ebooks. At one time I was even a contributor to Teleread. But could I get an ereader in Australia? Nope.
I had just decided to buy an ereader in from overseas when the Kobo arrived in Borders. Even despite getting a "lemon" with my first unit I persevered and got a replacement. Now I use it all the time, have magazines via Calibre. It's crammed with books, magazines, lecture notes.
I will NEVER be without one again and am only annoyed that I had to wait until I was old before they were invented! (And another device that was "previewed" by Arthur C Clarke - although I think he was imagining something like the IPad about 40 years ago).
I simply chose that I "read a lot" in this survey, but it's so much more than that.
