Most of my reading is not for pleasure. I use my library for research. A lot of times I need to look things up or find a quote or go over something while I'm in the middle of the project. I'd like to be able to move more and more of my library over to a mobile device.
For example, it would be awesome to be able to carry the primary texts from the history of philosophy and selected secondary literature with me while I travel home for Christmas so that I can continue my work.
So in the end it's not just a geeky interest in pushing the device beyond what it's intended for, it's about being able to extend the intended functionality of the device to suit your current and future needs.
