I like reading from my reader rather then from a p-book not only because of the portability and the ability to enlarge my fonts, but also because I like the feeling of it in my hand. When I go to bed in the evening my husband makes a big kafuffle over getting into the right position to read his big old hardcover book, fumbles to find his place after his bookmark has fallen out and complains that his hand hurts from holding his book up, whereas I can hold my reader with one hand and am comfortable reading in pretty much any position. Recently I picked up a p-book and I found myself instinctively pushing down with my thumb where the button would be on my prs-505 when it came time to turn the page! Also, I was totally OCD with my p-books and keeping them looking new and clean, it's a lot less trouble to be OCD with my reader!
It's too bad my husband doesn't read much in English, I'd love to buy him a reader but currently there aren't many e-books available in Croatian.
Cheers!
