For me, an e-reader is a no-brainer. It reduces the back strain associated with my 2-4 book a week habit. My allergies greatly appreciate me no longer saving a few bucks and reading musty old classics from the library. People have to engage me in an actual discussion to find out what I'm reading and can't just spot the dust jacket then scream out spoilers or unsolicited opinions while dashing past (wonder of reading at the office). For most people I know though a library card just makes more sense.
