I had to put my vote as "On the fence"
It depends on the person I'm talking to. For example, my ex-wife reads one new book a year or so, then donates it to the library. The rest of what she reads are books she gets from the library. It wouldn't be worth it financially for her.
Personally, until I got one I never really thought much about them. Now that I have one, I don't see how I lived without it. I don't have to search through boxes of books to find one I want to read. I don't have to worry about my ex's pets destroying my books. If I own all of the books in a series, I don't have to look for one of them to read it. It's great!
I do admit that I was planning on getting a Nook for a long time. However, I got so many free books/short stories from Amazon that I just went with them instead.
