7. What's your verdict (quick)?
The convenience of a reader device (weight, size, portability, I can carry a whole library, bigger font sizes than books), quite overshadows the downsides (contrast could still be better, DRM and no consensus about file formats is a big hassle, no books in Danish (yet)**)

** I'm lucky that I've always preferred English and American authors
