I've had my sony reader for 2 years & much prefer ebooks to paper. I used to have a steady stream of pbooks coming in the mail, but rarely buy them now, unless they are art books, magazines, or say a computer manual, where illustration is central. I hope to convert entirely when the iPad takes off.
I am now bothered by many things about paper books that I didn't notice before. My art books are beautiful, but very heavy, and give me a crick in my neck. The cheap paper of paperbacks dry out my hands. Holding stiff books open puts pressure on an arthritic thumb. Plus there is the whole issue of storage. I'm like the princess sleeping a pea in her mattress - a complete conversion can't come soon enough.
