First of all there aren't enough choices to your poll. You do not allow choices for
types of books.
My libraries contain reference books that do not show well on today's readers and browsing them on the device is frustrating. I also have some very old books that have stood the test of time, they have been out of print for at least a century.
I also have some art books with prints of famous paintings and woodworking marvels. They don't even look good on a 20" LCD, when will we get a suitable reader for those?
As for novels, stories and text in general, I agree that a reader is perfect. But in fact I've never kept those for long because I scarcely read a book twice and depart from them regularly.
Last of all,
are you out of your mind??!?? I make part of my living building libraries!!!
