Two at the moment. A Kindle 3 Wifi international and a Sony PRS-600. My sister is getting the Sony next week.

I also have a Aluratek Libre Pro which is currently giving me the shits and I wish I never bought it.

What don't you like about it?

Three, if broken ones count :-).

Original 64M Cybook Gen3 (bought at launch, broken)

BeBook One (Hanlin V3 clone, replacement for above)

Kindle DXG.

One..

Solicitous · 06-30-2011, 07:30 AM

I/We have three. The wife has a K3, I have a K3 and an Astak Pocket Pro.

I think on this forum we almost need like the ebook addicts thread, one for e-ink device addicts. I always have thoughts trying to justify buying another ereader despite only being able to use one at a time.

Sweetpea · 06-30-2011, 07:44 AM

I have 3, my husband has one. But that's his and not mine, so I voted 3

My first love: the BeBook Mini. still love that one, despite the lack of a touch screen. It'll be the reader I'll most certainly take with me on holiday and is at all times near me.

I then bought the ProMedia, which has a sipix screen and a horrible battery life. That is is relegated to the kitchen.

Finally, I got the Sony650, which is also an awesome device. But it feels less sturdy than my Mini, so it only sees home use, despite the fact that it has what the Mini really misses: the touch screen... Will I take that one with me on holiday? Probably. So I can show my mother the PRS+ firmware

One week ago it was none...
Six days ago I got my first (BeBook One).

I hope I'll be able to wait for at least six months before buying the next.

My Pocket edge has a e-ink on one side and a LCD on the other, so does it count as 1 or ½?

OTOH, I'm seriously thinking of getting a Kobo Touch for my wife.

astrangerhere · 06-30-2011, 08:47 AM

I have my NookSTR, and gave my partner my NookClassic. She reads about 5% as much as me, and didn't want me to spend money on one for her when my old one still worked.

I dont see the point in multiple devices at once, but I'm also the cheapskate in our house, so that might just be me channelling my inner Scrooge.

Pookeysgirl · 06-30-2011, 09:28 AM

I bought the original Kobo when it first came out. I really liked it but found my needs had changed so I bought the Kindle 3 wi-fi ( I think I bought it in January). Now the kids use the Kobo, which they love, and I use the K3 exclusively.

I can't get the latest firmware update on to it.

1. Sony PRS-505 (silver

)
2. Amazon Kindle 3 (wi-fi only)

DianNC · 06-30-2011, 10:42 AM

Only one and it was a gift. I love it, though. However, if I'd bought one for myself, I might have chosen one that I could read outside.

Uhm, your profile says you have a Nook color, which is LCD and not eInk. The OP was asking how many eInk devices people had. LCD has the issue with being able to be read outside, where as eInk works fine in bright light.

Pomtroll · 06-30-2011, 11:18 AM

I have 4.
Nook Classic (seldom read with now)
Kindle3 (occasional read)
Sony 350 silver (back up)
Sony 350 pink (goes everywhere with me)
