It's small, fits in my pockef, and can contain a small library. But I refuse to consider copy-protected books. I want to be able to keep my books, and that means being able to back them up, and being able to move them to other readers in case my PDA dies. Very few modern free books actually exist. So I still buy and read dead-tree books and I dread the day I have to move into a smaller place for financial reasons. I read ebooks on my PDA.

It totally sucked the joy of reading out of it. I read few e-books, but only because I couldn’t get real ones (and didn’t want to order them…it takes too long).
