Of course, I read the poll wrong and answered it as my current age. I really didn't start reading ebooks until about 6 years ago. Before that I didn't own a PDA and didn't like the dedicated ebook readers available. Reading on the PC was no fun since I already spent 8+ hours a day for work staring into a screen. The main reason I purchased my PDA was to keep my calender and contacts handy but within a month was downloading and reading ebooks. What I found was that I could read fiction on a small LCD but not non-fiction. That changed with the eink readers. Probably because of the larger non-backlit screen I can absorb information far better than off a Palm. My dream is to have a larger eink device, say about 6"x10" for the screen.
