I'm happy for those of you who get one but it won't be me
Yes, some of the titles are more expensive, but IMO this is more than offset by the feature of getting books from your local library system. For example, I just checked the READS (Regional eBook & Audiobook Download System) and they have Books 1-4 of the Twilight saga available for download (checkout). How many books are there in the saga?

To me, the ability to download from a library system and the ability to get public domain titles for free are the features that made me select this reader over the Kindle or Nook.
