Well that partially true or I'm an exception. I was not a advid reader prior to owning the e-reader. Sure I read the occasional magazine, or portions of a technical manual - when needed. But I have not been a consistant reader of novels, etc until after I got my Sony which was back in May.
I am now on my third book (Green Mile), and have also read a lot of bits and pieces on the e-reader as well. I believe the difference is that I saw the value in the hardware. I also believe that some owners of the e-reader in this forum are now reading more then ever. Prior to the e-reader it has probably been 30 years since I last warmed up to a good novel, if not longer. Now that fall and winter are approaching I will be reading even more.
Again if sony can have a display model with mutiple subject matter then the user would see the value in owning such a product.
