I suppose everyone has a reason. Mine was quite selfish. I live in Mexico. Reading in Spanish is work and reading in English is a joy. Books in English aren't easy to come by. So, for years I waited for a common format. Then I decided it wasn't coming.

To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to the different devices. I focused on which device, and therefore, which format, gave me the best access to what I want to read. For me, it was Amazon.

So, that meant, for me, it was a Kindle.

What was your reason for deciding to read e-books? Did your choice of books dictate the device or did the device dictate your choice of books?
