Do you really feel you're missing out if you'd just read a paper book instead of this reading gadget?

Reading paper books has served me perfectly for many years. It has served humanity for many many years. So even if I didn't have a cybook, I really could not say that I would be "missing out" if I didn't have it.
My cybook is quite new, and I have less books on it than it came with, since I deleted the ones I knew I wasn't going to read anyway. So at the moment I don't think I have the feeling I'm "missing out" by not having 500 books on it, no.
But is that really what you want to know? Or are you genuinely interested in how other people use their e-reader and why some of them would want more than 2gb on it?

People have answered: comics. or the ease of having everything on one card. There are plenty of other reasons.

Let me say it like this. If the reader would have supported 4gb, I would have bought a 4gb card. Just like I didn't buy a 1gb card now even though "Surely you dont think you're missing out because you can only put 250 books on the card?"
The way you're talking you make it sound like you have like a 256mb card in yours. I mean, using your line of reasoning, why would anybody want more than 80 books on their reader?????
