I started reading e-books when I was 23 and my company gave me a palm IIIi. I subscribed to e-reader (then peanut press) and moved on to a Palm Tungsten.
Bought a Symbian phone in 2006 and was disgusted to find e-reader didn't support it so I swapped to mobipocket.
I have always been a voracious reader and now at 32 I still read all the time and love the fact that I have a library of 50+ books on my phone available at any given instant to read.
As an engineer who has travelled the world for the last 10 years I appreciate a new book that I can download when there are no english bookshops or mail from amazon available.
The eye strain when reading from a phone can be a bit of pain so thinking about complementing it with an e-ink reader. However, I still think the e-ink readers have a ways to go before I buy one. I am waiting for more choice, better design and more functionality / flexibility.
