Responses on this forum are, of course, skewed towards
MobileReaders as would be expected. And, yes, given a choice of reading a book today, my personal preference is my eReader.
BUT, one of the "value added" features of pBooks that so many eBooks lack is portability among friends. This assumes DRM, of course, but most new releases of popular literature are DRM-crippled. Even today, one of my main sources of reading material comes from swapping books with non-family friends who are avid readers. I can break the law and remove the DRM, but that's illegal and I don't go there. So for those books I wish to share with others (and we usually predetermine who buys what to share), I'm stuck with pBooks for swapping. If and when the DRM is abandoned by publishers and authors, then it's no contest for all the reasons given above in this thread.
