Several years ago when I planned to reduce my house size; the library of hard-backs became an issue for me. Where to put them? So I purchased a Sony PRS-500 to read all my NEW purchases. I could nearly put the same number of books in my Sony as in one of my many book shelves.
Along the way, I found the Sony to be much more comfortable to read than many of the paperbacks or hardbacks. As an example not often mentioned, the book thickness reaches the point where it is very uncomfortable to tote around. Take Tom Clancy's book Executive Orders in paperback. It is over 2" thick and quite un-wieldly to tote around.
For those reasons alone, I find the Sony to be far more practical.
