1) Nintendo DS: I used to read dtb when I was a kid, I actually loved books (I had a criminal case where i manage to steal like 60 books from the library, i'm not proud thou -.-). At some point I just forgot what books were all about (maybe some unconsciousness trauma/shame?). 2 years ago I got a ds, 1 year ago i started reading on it, rediscovered the joys of reading ^^ (now mostly in english thou, not my mother language). My ds actually had a button broken, but my friend had to find it out cause the soft i used for reading didn't use it(so it may be broke for almost an whole year already). Ds is small, I got to a reading flux now that the backlight+small size are bad for my eyes -.-.

2) On the years I wasn't reading i grew some sort of hatred on dtbs. I don't like the space taken, the weight, i never enjoyed that part when u get in the middle of the book and u have to force it open cause it's too thick, then the 'pasting' of pages will started deteriorate. It gets dirty (i sweat a lot on hands). I DO really find troublesome to keep turning pages =,=, after reading on ds page turning seems like a reading flow killer. Actually I have 2 dtbs here lent from a fd, wich i'm trying to read for the past 6 months, but I never start... (I think I'm just waiting my reader to arrive to look for a digital ver -,-, and keeping then in meantime in case i don't find).

3) I don't really care for specifc titles. I'm 27, reading for 1 year only, haven't read before since i was 13. The amount of books I want to read is huge, so if I don't find the e-book for something i feel like reading, so far there is a plenty other titles to look to.

4) Language: I actually enjoyed so much reading english, it feels more accurate and even thou my vocab. and skills in my mother language (portuguese), the reading flow in english feels just a lot better. (And it's a lot cheaper to get an english book online delivered digitally then paying a shipping).

5) It's neat :P. Wanna a better reason than this one?
