That's not ideology talking... I'm just that much of a frickin' cheapskate. I still have access to 30 year old pbooks I bought, and I'm going to have access to 30 year-old ebooks I bought. That's not geek. That's pack-rat.

I've only ever re-read a handful of my very favourite books, so for me it's just about making sure I am able to read books I've bought on whatever e-reader I happen to own.
My Kindle might break in six months time and I might decide to try the Sony PRS-T1 instead, if there's books I've yet to read there's no way I'm going to re-purchase them just because I'm using a different e-reader.
