Truth is; barring some global, civilization-ending catastrophe, one day e-readers will be supplanted by something better -- as will netbooks, laptops, and desktops. But for now and for the near future, if you're a serious reader, e-readers can't be beat.
I agree. I'm also getting very tired about not being able to lend out books. I can count the amount of books (of the paper kind) I've lent out on one hand. Most people I know don't read what I read and I don't read what they read. So, should I not buy pbooks because I can't lend them out?

While I would like to buy a true tablet PC, the price is holding me back. And I don't see myself reading with a netbook in bed...
