I've probably bought hundreds of pbooks over the years. They flooded the closets and tables all over my house. I just recently donated many of them to the local library. We had to make space in our home, so I had to part with my pbooks.

I am planning on purchasing a dedicated ereader device in the near future and making the switch to ebooks. I was very impressed with the e ink screen on the Nook when I toyed around with it at Barnes and Noble. Seems like a pleasant way to read ebooks (as opposed to reading on a LCD screen).

I'm hoping the switch to ebooks will save money (lower cost ebooks) as well as space. However, I realize that not every book I will want to read will be available as an ebook or will be practical to read as an ebook.
