I'm in the Army. The first time I deployed I didn't have a reader, and carried with me, or had mailed to me the books I wanted for the year and a half I was there. It was a pain to get those books back to the States at the end of the deployment.

I bought my first Reader because I wanted somehow to have my entire library with me wherever I went. After many internet searches, and three years later I'm happy to say I carry in my cargo pocket over two thousand books. I've done what I can to duplicate my paperback library, and so it comforts me to have most of those books on hand at any given moment.

That is why I bought an E-Reader, and will continue to own one until the EMP bombs wipe out everyone's E-Readers. It will be a sad day when we have to go back to paperbacks.
