The first month, I used my Reader extensively. Since about late Jan I've gone back to reading mostly on my Garmin iQue (Palm device). I'm sure I'll use the Reader as well in the future.

My reasons:

1) I've been traveling and the Garmin (think Palm T5 if you're not familiar with the Garmin) and its easier to slip into a pocket when you are just walking around.

2) I've been in some low light situations and the Garmin has a backlit screen. I have not been happy with any of the clip on lights I've tried with the Reader -- they work, but they add enough inconvenience to make me use the Garmin in these situations. If a "light wedge" was available that would remove this complaint!

3) Content -- eReader.com occasionally has "bundles" where they will package 5-10 books in a series with a good price. I've bought a couple of these recently so that forces me to use the Garmin.

4) Store -- I *hate* the Sony Connect store. I find it difficult to use unless you know exactly what you are looking for. I haven't done a scientific analysis, but I have the impression the prices are higher there than others (e.g. eReader.com) -- but I could be wrong on this.

I am not unhappy I bought the Reader and it will use it in the future. Lack of a good light solution is probably the biggest reason I've not used it so much recently.
