I voted other. I don't find downloading to be fun, it's just another task to be done. But I do download books to add to my stockpile of books to be read. My Sony 505 currently has 153 unread books on it. My pbook library of hard cover books has 214 yet to be read. Together I have enough books to read for my next life and a half.

I download ebooks or buy pbooks I am interested in reading as I come across them -- whether by reading a review or by seeing them in a bookstore. I learned a long time ago that if I didn't download/buy the book when I first was interested, I quickly forgot about it as I discovered another book of interest.

So, yes, I do download to build my stockpile, but I do not consider downloading a fun thing to do.
