I used to read on generations of Palm Treo's, which I had as telephone and PA.

I bought the first ereader when e-ink started. I got caught from the publicity, I think, with the excuse of long lasting charge, and the slick look.

Spoiler:

I am glad with 3 readers for a variety of different situations.

Spoiler: It was, and still is, a good conversation piece. Sometimes, I like to pursue improbable, dry, one to one contacts with perfect strangers, on the Metro. I should have been a salesman. Or a con artist. I am glad with 3 readers for a variety of different situations.
