One of these decades folks will realize that a good e-reader is as game changing as the iPod was.

I'm very pro real books and as a result was hesitant to jump on the ebook bandwagon. That all changed after finishing a particularly large book early during a long trip, lugging those damn dead trees around the country for a while and unable to find anything worthwile to read in along the way. Now with my ebook any book and every book on my "to read" list taking up the same space, same weight, and I don't worry about damaging them because the ebook is waterproof with a rugged cover.

I still buy hard to find and out of print books at used book stores, but those stay home and get gifted to special people when I'm done.

Yup, this is the way. My e-reader weighs less than my phone and is about 1/4th the size of a hardback or trade paperback with the cover or a protective sleeve. It's a game changer for travel, commuting, waiting time before appointments, etc.

I've read 200+ books in the span of time I might have read 20 if I had to throw an actual book in my bag on the way out the door.
