I loved my e-reader and still do. But I hardly ever use it anymore. I just recently finished my bachelors in history so I had a lot of actual book reading to do and leisure reading went out the window. It sort of got me out of the habit of reading e-books and I recently found a string of excellent hardcover history books at Barnes and Noble's bargain section, so I really haven't been able to go back to e-book reading.
And now with all these price changes, I simply can't justify paying that kind of money when I can find the regular book for cheap. I don't read romance or sci-fi, and those are the books most frequently discounted online.
So basically I just use my e-reader for historical books and public domain. Which, don't get me wrong, I've gotten the value of my e-reader back many times through public domain, but it'd be nice to feel comfortable spending so much money on a non-physical thing such as an e-book. The publishers really shot themselves in the foot with this.
