Definitely more than one. Need to sell some older models actually! However, I'd still want at least two.

Why? Although I've never broken a reader, I read so much and my eyes prefer e-ink so much that I feel having a spare is HIGHLY desirable. My preferred reader is Kobo, which needs to come from Canada, so if something happened, I'd have to go without for a week. The horror!

Also, I digitize books as a hobby and having a couple readers allows me to use one for proofreading, one for pleasure. I can also do things like compare the look of different versions of SVG title pages or different formatting. And by having both Kindle and Kobo, I can use features like whispersync to back up proofreading notes, while using my 7.8" Aura ONE screen to do my pleasure reading. And I can test that my ePubs work well when converted to Kindle format!

Then there's the battery thing. Nice to be able to put a reader on to charge, pick up another reader, keep reading.

I'm probably not typical, but them's my reasons....
