Well, sir, the way IIIIIIIIII see it is this:
If the device was abandoned tomorrow, I still have a way to get all of Gutenburg on the Reader. Additionally, I have BookDesigner and Word to help me with these tasks. PLUS, their are other, shall we say- "nefarious" - ways to enjoy newer titles.
I know that some people read at night; however, I now use my bed for sleeping and for recreational activities that do not involve metal and plastic.
This, in my opinion, is simply the best device on the market. It's an absolute joy to use. I need to emphasize to everyone on this board that I'm an avid reader AND a collector of books.
When I go into Borders, along with my Reader, I notice all the newer fiction titles (what I predominently read), and wishing that they were available right now for the Reader. If Sony is able to work through the contractual/legal issues of adding newer major publishers (I'm think Knopf), then I will unfortunately be giving Sony about $100 a month for life.
Cheers,
Don
