I too love my blue reader (although it is broken
( )- and in the first two months that I owned it I probably read more books than in the prior six months-and this is from a person who struggles to pass the TWO B&N bookstores in my neighborhood without stopping to buy at least ONE book (mind you...I pass these bookstores at least twice a day most days).I find it has been MOST advantageous for my (frequent) travels and commute-as I no longer have to tote 3 books
(and the person who often totes my bags about really appreciates that I've lightened the load for him ! )
The main reason why I bought the blue ones -is that they don't really stand out and scream "LOOK AT ME"-which can be a great thing if you don't want to attract any unwanted attention (as opposed to the postiive "WHAT IS THAT" that spawns conversation about the gadget).
