Are people like Phogg joking about comparing having multiple e-readers in multiple locations like scissors? Last I checked you just stash scissors somewhere. You don't have to sync your e-books or remember placements, keep it charged, etc. Having multiple e-readers so increases the time you spend managing the extra devices, that it does not save time compared to walking to a different place in your house. You are inventing a fictional meta-narrative to support your gadget addiction.

The Mobileread forums really need a support forum for people who think they need so many readers and who buy too many books they cannot get around to reading.
