Yeah -- what they said. I found that a "back-up" device was very important when I lost my Kindle Keyboard a couple of weeks ago. To finish the book that I had been reading at the time, I simply loaded it onto one of the other readers and kept going. Also, Harry's comment about the library is certainly pertinent here. None of our local libraries have lending for the Kindle, so it's important to have a reader that supports the ePub format with Adobe Digital Editions.
And the other answer is ... with over 1000 printed volumes in my house, wouldn't you *expect* me to have multiple electronic readers?
