I agree. If you are a heavy reader, (and whose else is posting here...) E is long term cheaper than P.
Many people complain about the cost of the readers. (Pulls out soapbox, dusts it off, and climbs up on it.) The cost of the reader is fixed, and the more cheap and/or free (P.G., the gang of PD bookbuilders here, ect.) you acquire, the cheaper per book it becomes. A $300 reader holding 300 books works out to a dollar a book for the reader. At 600 books, it's .50 cents. Sure, the gadget will eventually croak, or you'll succumb to gadget envy and buy a new one, but if you stick to non-Drm'ed books, you'll stiil be able to amortized your habit over a large number of books. (And backup! you can take a copy of your flash chip and stick in a safety deposit box and not have to worry about fire or theft or forgetful loss...) My pile of books on my CYBook gen 1 is over 1000 now....
