To summarize: if you read a lot of books, especially text only, and also enjoy books from the library and free classics; then get a reader. If you can't afford one, stay away from new books, because you won't be able to afford to buy many, either! If you read a large number of PDF files and technical documents get an Irex DR Reader or one of the upcoming large screen readers. If you do not mind reading on a computer screen (I certainly do), get a cheap netbook. Finally, if you are looking to replicate the pbook experience 100%, then wait a few years. You will just have to live without the convenience of ebooks in the mean time.
