"I'm a casual reader so I thought it was cool to have one"

Kind of funny, since these polls rarely have options that accurately describe most responders, but that was almost the exact words I'd have used to describe my reason.

We got our K2 for my wife, and in her case, she'd have certainly answered "I really read a lot, very convenient device." She could read a novel or two a week, but it's apparently really hard to turn pages when cuddling a clinging child.

But for me, I just thought it was really cool. I love being able to check email, etc, and while I really do not read enough at the moment (I used to commute by train...LOTs of reading then!) to 'properly justify' owning a reader, I couldn't resist getting a K3 of my own. Pleasantly, I find my self reading more now, especially since the Kindle allows me to jump between several different things, and try lots of free samples to see if anything really grabs my attention.
