The excuse
Later this year I'm going on a month-long bicycle tour, and packing enough books to keep me busy in the evenings seemed impractical to say the least, so I bought a Kindle with 3G so I could bring as many books with me as I wanted to, and if I had the urge I could buy some more or do some very basic websurfing, like looking up stuff I encounter on Wikipedia.

The reason
The excuse really is a big part of the reason, but also the fact that it's a gadget. I love gadgets, but I generally don't buy them unless I have a reasonably valid excuse.

The real reason
The above two pretty much sums it up.
