Same here (down to the K2 U.S.). The novelty of the device itself wore off very quickly. But that hasn't driven me back to physical books. Far from it. The entire attraction for me is the e
book. Not the e
reader.
Content is king for me. Not the doodad I read it on. I couldn't imagine going back to the days of waiting on physical books to arrive in the mail. Or having to drive to a store or a library to get them (not to mention going back to dealing with fixed font sizes). The ability to discover a book and start reading it (with a comfortable font size) within seconds from wherever I happen to be is absolutely priceless.
