Over the course of the year I've collected three ereader devices. The Nook Color was my gateway drug, then I got a Nook Simple Touch and recently purchased a Motorola Xoom. Ereaders have greatly increaded the amount of reading I do. When I first got my NST I switched over to reading on it 100% and only used the Nook Color as a rooted Android tablet. When I got the Xoom I was going to sell the Nook Color. But the fun of getting a new device made me want to read on the big Xoom screen. Reading on the Xoom reminded me of how much better the Nook Color was for night reading, especially if I want to read after my wife goes to sleep.

So now I am reading regularly on three devices. I read in the living room at home on the Xoom, take the NST with me to read on the bus, at work on my lunch, etc, and use the Nook Color to read in bed. It seems kind of silly, but it's nice to have specialized devices for differnt situations. Unnecessary but nice. The other reason I would give is that I simply love gadgets. Does anyone else do this?
