This was one of the major reasons I wanted an ebook reader. I don't have asthma, but like others who've posted, I have severe dust and mold allergies. I often cannot read old books without sneezing and having my eyes water like crazy. It's a good deal of work keeping the dust down on bookshelves crammed with books, too. I tend not to hang on to many possessions because more clutter means more dusting. Books, though the worst offender in this regard, have always been my exception to this rule. Now that I have a reader, I can lighten the load there.
