Reading books on an electronic device really just seems to suck the heart and soul right out of it, IMHO. Just my 2 cents, though.

I feel the same way, but after collecting books for 45 years I have to admit I have too many. I have book shelves that are full, books stored in boxes in the attic and basement and more at work where I run a loaner library. I read 1-2 books a week and I finally asked the wife to get me a Kindle for Xmas.

My mom got me the Nook from B&N and I have absolutley loved it so far. I like the ability to be able to go into a store and get free content with it as well.
