I'm sorry if some misunderstood me. My bad. I do like reading actual books. In fact, I prefer it. It isn't that I find it difficult to read hard copies, per se. My problem seems to be simply getting started. I don't want to carry around all the books I had before. And also because I do have a backup with the iPod Touch. I was always going back to that -- giving it another chance -- only to again be reminded how it simply wasn't enjoyably to read from. So, I switch to watching a film on it, only to get tired of viewing the tiny screen.
For those just joining the discussion, I am not looking for a solution (particularly when the solution is clearly written on the bottom of my tennis shoes, "Just do It"). I just wanted to hear how others felt when their machines were no longer available. And having just gotten out of the hospital, I have a lot more time on my hands this week for something like this. Thanks everyone!

I love books and reading, which is why I love ereaders too, because it enables me to do more of the reading I so love. I have over time (I started ereading 7 years ago, and bought my first ereader 2 years ago) made sure that I would always have an electronic portable way to keep reading. Which ended up being quite ridiculous, with devices left in different places "just in case". I am thinking of getting counselling though
.
Wish you a prompt recovery first, and soon the money to buy a new ereader.
