I used to be such a bookworm, then I began to gradually read less and less until I was hardly reading anything at all.

I didn't realize why until I got my Sony, and could change the font sizes. Apparently my eyes had gradually deteriorated to the point that reading was just no fun anymore.

Within 2 months, I had read more books than the previous 2 years.

As to the paper vs. e- debate, I can't go back. Everytime I've been forced to read a paper book since then, it's been an exercise in frustration.

Besides, my M-edge leather cover is MUCH nicer than the feel of most paper books.

I think most people who make the 'I love the feel of real books' comment are really trying to come up with an excuse for not spending $100-200 on another device, but real readers will love it once they try it, especially older ones.
