The K2 won me over mainly because of the convenience of buying books over Whispernet and the savings on newer books. I read about 2 books a week so being able to save a couple bucks a book (not to mention the space I'll save by buying eBooks) is pretty significant long-term.
I saw someone reading a Kindle on the subway. I'd never considered any type of ebook reader before, but this "kindled" my interest () and when I got to the office, I started reading everything I could find about it.

The price really put me off, though, so I started looking for other types of ereaders. That led me here, where I saw lots of positive comments about the eBookwise. Since the price was right, I bought one and immediately fell in love.

Plus I was able to get rid of a ton of paperbacks from my personal library (donating them to the public library, of course! ), which made my husband happy since it freed up quite a bit of space in our Tuff Shed!

And um, I just bought a used Kindle 1.0! So I'm a happy camper, though my VISA bill is gonna be interesting next month.
