What do you do with your multiple ereaders? I will give an example of what I am talking about, personally I have two ereaders: a basic and a 2012 paper white, the paper white takes care of instances where I need the book light, such as on a darken bus in the morning or in the dark waiting for the bus. The basic handles instances where the ligh is not really necessary, such as on the subway or at my desk in the office. Thus I have roles for each of the two ereaders to play.
What roles do your ereaders play?

Color me curious. Why do you ask?
To answer your question:
- NOOK ND (replaced NOOK Tablet) - first choice for reading legible e-content, outside of art books, photography books, technical manuals, or textbooks, all of which I prefer to read in hard copy.
- Smartphone - first choice for reading on-the-go when my NOOK's unavailable; the only solution when reading online when out-and-about in a location that has a mobile signal but no wireless Internet connection; handy for looking things up to supplement what I'm reading on my NOOK; invaluable for following an online recipe when cooking (as it fits on the narrow ledge near the stove and cabinets but a safe distance from spills and steam, and in my pocket when I'm rummaging in the pantry). Preferred for consuming streaming or recorded/saved audio or a/v content when on-the-go.
- Laptop/desktop computer - first choice for reading art books, photography books, technical manuals, or textbooks; for on-device and/or online multi-tasking while reading; for "power shopping" at online bookstores (especially the NOOK Store, which oftentimes returns error messages when I try to buy something via my NOOK or cellphone from outside of the NOOK app); optimal for reading details about, comparing, and purchasing in rapid succession multiple items. Preferred for consuming streaming or recorded/saved audio or a/v content when stationary. Preferred "castle keep" for digital collections and the tools used to manage and secure these "master libraries" (e.g., Calibre, cloud services, Media Monkey, and portable backup hard drive).
