If I have a book in the cloud I can access it anywhere I can get access to a WiFi connection. And it makes it easier to store books than it is when all your books are paper. Plus all your e-books weigh the same amount (the weight of the e-reader). You can't say that with paper.
Yes! I once sat on a Sony PRS300. That was not a good thing. Those puppies were EXPENSIVE when they first came out.
