I always assumed that ereaders were just going to be one of those short-lived novelty type items. You know, the kind that you see in Brookstone or Sharper Image that you think "Man, that'd be cool to have, but why would I ever bother paying for it?" Fast-forward a couple years and having moved a couple times (and having to move hundreds of pounds of books each time), and that's when I really started taking more of an interest in them.
Once I got my hands on one (Nook Color first, Kindle second), I started getting absorbed by it. At first, it felt a little odd reading books on a hand-held device. But, I got over it pretty quick since I was used to reading forums and such on my phone and PSP, and it came a little more naturally than I thought. Now I find myself looking almost exclusively for ebooks, and only looking for hard-copies if I absolutely cannot find an ebook version.
The transition wasn't as difficult as I had initially thought.
