My family thinks I am crazy for switching to ereaders. My mom, sister and brother-in-law are avid readers and say you need to be holding the book. Or something along those lines. They are all complaining about a lack of bookshelves space and space to put a new one.
The only person to show any interest in the Kobo I use to own was my wife. She has become interested in ereaders, but she doesn't read that many books in a year.
Outside of my family, I can only think of 1 person who reads for fun. I miss the days when you would swap books with people. I generally don't read the same type books as my mom and sis, so little swapping there.
A friend of my mom's had a HUGE fantasy/sci-fi collection that she let me read from. It was a gold mine! I was sad to see her move.
