Confession time...
BTW, PilotBob -- I am crazy and do freely and willfully admit it but the other poster who wonders why we would buy a device when libraries are free... why is s/he hanging out on a forum dedicated to eReader owners... unless it is s/he is trying to perform some sort of intervention...
Now time for my confession...
I just ordered up the Sony red reader. I have a cybook from last year but never "bonded" with it because the firmware was crap so it didn't keep track of bookmarks so you always had to flip through manually to find where you were in a book... I still have the cybook for cheaper mobipocket formats etc.
Last fall I bought the PRS-505 and fell in love. so I bought a second one. But then recently I felt guilty about owning 2 sonys and a dear friend saw mine, fell in love and I gave it to her as a wedding present figuring I didn't need 2 and she couldn't afford 1.
But alas, I have felt a void in my soul and, as I said, just recently ordered up the Sangria Red sony reader. I guess it comes from the idea that I always have to have one with me and I don't want to run the risk of one having a dead battery on one and having to wait while it charges up before I can read.
Funny -- I don't have the same compulsion about my cell phone and frankly, there is more of a "safety" issue there where if my car breaks down and my cell phone is dead, I'm screwed... But on the plus side, at least I would have something to read until someone found me!
Hello, my name is Nancy and I'm a reader-aholic. (sometimes I think the ghost of my father is driving me to this since he never met a gadget that he didn't like and usually had to have multiples... so really, I think it is a genetic condition and you can't fight nature!)
