Lack of portability has been a factor, I think, in the reluctance of many avid readers to adopt eReaders. Many book collectors enjoy shelves of books in their homes as a reminder of their literary experiences or to re-read or loan them to friends. eReaders have removed that sharing for the most part. I still purchase pBooks that I think I might want to loan. I would be reluctant to loan my Kindles out except to a very select group of people. On the other hand, our local library does loan (rent) Nooks for Overdrive access to patrons - about $2.00/week I think.
