I like to read lying down on my side, and the Reader is more convenient than a book in this regard. It's easily propped on its side or on one corner, moreso than a softcover book.
When reading it's easy to forget that I'm using a device. By that, I mean its physicality doesn't intrude upon the reading experience, and the text is beautifully clear. Right now I'm reading .txt format with no trouble at all.
My only complaint is that the accumulation of ebooks is not satisfying in the way that opening the daily delivery from Amazon is, nor is there a tall pile to fondle and shelve.

Hi Michele,
I'm happy you are enjoying your Reader as well.
I honestly had no idea how nice the case that came with it was until I opened it up. For those that plan on purchasing a case with the Reader I encourage you to wait till you get the device, check the case that comes with it out, and then decide. You may find that the standard case will suit you just fine. To me, $40 is alot of money for an extra case. I'd rather put that money towards the Accidental Damage Plan.
Like you Michele, I prefer lying down on my side to read and I have to agree that reading on the Reader is much better than a paperback. I found it hard to keep the book open and see all of the text.
My only problem now is that I may not want to read in any other way now. Many books are released in paper form only. I do wish a time will come when books are distributed in paper and electronic format at the same time. It's good to give consumers a choice.
