Well, since like Knot Sew, I am a library person...I really can't justify the cost of buying the reader. If we still travelled a lot, yes...but thats not to say I won't get one. I think the up side for me would be the ability to get the books that I actually want to read, when I want to read them. Our library is very small, but not too bad for what it is. Its just that there isn't much of a budget for buying books and I have to wait..and wait...and wait. Sometimes, I end up buying the book, reading it, then donating it to the library!
