Hey there! I don't have an ebook reader currently, and until this evening I'd never seriously considered one. Someone on Twitter asked a question about them, and I started looking at what's out there now. This really got me thinking. Every room in my house has books in it. I travel several times a year. I go almost everywhere with a knitting project, so I also have to carry patterns around. The more I think about it, the more I think an ebook reader might be one of the best things I could buy.

So far I've just been reading reviews and looking at prices. A comment thread on Amazon brought me here. This looks like a good place to find out more.
