Like many of you I have a small library of PDB formatted books that are for the most part worthless to me because they will not work with my current reader. I will not re-purchase these books in a new format. For what its worth I don’t believe this medium will be taken seriously until the publishing companies come to terms with the DRM issues. I fear they won’t. Yet, there will always be someone willing to purchase one of these books with their silly DRM locks. The worst thing is that I could have re-sold; loaned out or given away my paperbacks and I can’t say the same for my eBooks. I will try this eBook thing for a while but will continue to purchase the books I really like as paper books and probably give up the eReader after a while. Why would I buy a book I can’t re-sell loaned out or given away (donate). As far as carrying 350 books at once… I’m good with carrying just one or two.
