Well, just a fair warning. Ereaders have been known to cause addictions. When I wanted a 3rd ereader after buying my first one less than 4 months before, my beau started asking me questions because he said my behavior resembled that of an addict. Believe it or not, he sat me down and talked to me about it. Being a good addict, I convinced him I was fine. I did such a great job, he bought me that third reader saying, "Well, I've been thinking about buying you a present anyway." It seems my addiction is geared towards Sony's. Thus far, I've only had an issue with purchase control when Sony comes out with new readers. You should've heard the excuses coming out of my mouth when I picked up the 650. Oh, the justification, the justification... I have a SonyStyle 3 mis away, resistance was futile.

In any case, I was helpless 2 years ago, but if you find yourself in a similar circumstance, you can find help here.
