I won one in a contest. I hadn't even really thought about getting one, but then I was only reading about a book a month prior to getting one. Since I got one, I'm reading about a book a week and it's just made the commute a joy. Of course the luster is wearing a bit one me. Not so much the experience, but just the cost of e-books. Now the e-reader is doing the public domain options while I'm using the library for physical books a lot more. That will change when I can borrow books from the library on a Kindle in Canada.

I re-sell about 90% of my pBooks. Even ones I like a lot. Moving just makes having shelves and shelves of books a difficult and costly habit.
