The kindle got me to read more. I've never read so many books in my life. & I do carry around my kindle with me, depends where we are going but I do. & yes I have a man bag I usually carry as well. Tonight much wife & I went to the Addams Family musical & I took my kindle with me, no man bag, to read while we waited for the show to start.

Been a habitual reader for most of my life. Went to e-books because larger availability/not having to wait on shipping and at the top of the list , is to have the ability to carry a virtual library with me in a pocket.

You really can't compare the Kindle, Kobo, Nook, and Sony readers with the Ebook Reb---- line. The difference is Sooooooo big, here's a few;

1. Eink is WAY different than LCD

2. The Reb line is almost Nine times as heavy as current Ereaders.

3. All modern Ereaders have at least a Gig or two of storage, where as the Reb only has 8MB?

These items are so totally different that you can't even start to compare them.

Wait, you have two wives?
