I'm not really sure when the "transition" happened. I think it was before I bought my first reader device (Cybook gen 3 when it first came out - three years ago?)

Before that, I had been reading online fan fiction for about a year, and was quite comfortable with reading it from a computer screen, and then on a PDA. The Cybook was just to make it easier. All that fan fiction also meant that I'd stopped reading "normal" novels, and I haven't really taken this up again until this year. It is a curiosum that it was partly the opportunity to read books on the ereader that made me look up novels and "ordinary fiction" again.

I can't say that reading "The Historian" as a p-book last year was so strange or anything. The weight was annoying, but that was about it.

Non-fiction tends to be almost only p-books - and of course, all Danish books I want to read have been p-books as well (so far).

For most things, I definitely prefer e-books, but I buy the occasional p-book as well.
