Ok, Lets see.... For me, an Ebook Reader (Ebook) is a combination of a want and need.

I read a lot, not as much as some, but more than others..... and pbooks are hideously expensive in the country I find myself, as well as the oddest censorship in the known universe. (Bruno ended up being 58 mins here)

Also, pbooks go yellow and fall apart in 6mths in the tropical climate.

This doesn't happen with Ebooks (obviously).

I LIKE:
the status (geeky as it may be) of owning an Ebook reader.

the ablity to carry several books at one time.

the battery life

The E-inks screen vs LCD

the functionality of Ebooks (font size and type changes etc..)

I Miss paper books a little, the feel, the smell, the ability to read in the bath without worry about losing my entire library and access etc...

I also wanted to wait untill the 'one reader to rule them all' came out, but took the plunge anyway.

It's all about what works for you.....
