I admit to being a compulsive reader and read several books every week. I use my e-reader to revisit the long out of copyright classics I read when I was much younger and to find others I should have read. I rely on my library for new fiction. I do purchase hard copy books, new and used, but only those I'm reasonably sure I will reread.

I'm relatively new to the e-book world (I have a Color Nook) and I have purchased no ebooks from the usual suspects including B&N, though I've downloaded many. I have, however, been looking for authors offering out of print books directly and expect as that library grows I will purchase, especially science fiction, in the belief that purchasing direct will eventually influence price in a positive way. I explored downloading ebooks from the library, but believe the restrictions put on the libraries by the publishers render the service essentially useless.
