I read over a thousand words a minute and the eink screen flash would drive me nuts in a rather short time.
I read in low light situations and having to add a front light (and dealing with the resulting glare) would drive me nuts in a rather shot time.
I can fit over 150 books on a 128Mb card. I don't think of that as extremely small storage.
I'm cheap so I read public domain for the most part. That means there are only 60 or 100 THOUSAND titles available in RB format or IMP format or HTML format or DOC format or OPF format or TXT format. Doesn't seem all that limited to me.
I consider the form factor to be just about perfect. I can read one handed or prop it up against my lunch box where it will stay still as I poke the next page button. Sometimes the bulge works against me but not enough to make me give it up.
