Sony 300. I've had this for a while. It's kept in the smallest room in the house, with light reading on it. Currently reading some out of copyright Wodehouse nabbed off of Gutenberg/Inernet Archives.
Sony 350. Got this at a big discount in trade for my 505. I usually grab it when I head out for destinations unknown. I keep short stories on it.
Sony 650. Got this at a big discount when my neighborhood Borders crashed & burned. I keep my bubblegum reading - SF & Mystery - on this one. Currently on my bedstand with a Liz Williams novel on it.
Kindle 3. This lives in my briefcase for commuting. I use Instapaper & KlipIt to send articles from the net to read, plus it's the home of my Prime Read, currently the aforementioned Pale King.
Kindle DX I got this when my first K3 disappeared - okay, I left it under my seat at the symphony. Probably found by some Bartok fan. Anyway, I decided to try out the KDX, on the premise that if I didn't like it more than the K3 I'd return it & get another K3. But of course, once it was in my hot little hands, that plan went out the window. I use this as a kind of literary magazine - I use Readability to send longform articles to it, which I read in the evenings, my pipe & brandy to hand. Figuratively, anyway. I put some pdf magazines on it.
I think that one of the things I get out of having multiple EBRs is a physical sense of having different books. This feeling is enhanced by associating different genres with different EBRs. But I also think my bookaholism spills over from the ebooks to the EBRs. That old need of physical possession has not gone away.
