Even though I have published books on all the digital formats, I still haven't bought an e-reader yet. There are just so many, I get confused as to which I should get.
Plus, I'm not much of a techie. I'm happy I know how to program my VCR. Yes, I still have one and use it all the time.

While traveling long distances, or when sewing I do like the audio books. I guess the fact that one has to pay for "electronic books" just bothers me.....I know some are free, but I think there is a charge for others...then, of course, as everything else electronic, there will always be an "upgrade" to the system......JMHO

I have a Kindle, Christmas present from DS, and I use it waiting to get into appointments and when our home power goes out and TV is gone. I love it and there are lots of free books to download as well from different sites.

I have had mine for a couple of months and love it. I still go to the library and get books to hold in my hand when I want the comfort only a printed book can give. My library is expecting to have kindle capability later this year.

I have a nook and love it, great for vacations since I read so much. I tried the free books from Barnes & Noble, but found they were just part books or not my style, I really haven't had to buy books since my friends buy me gift cards, I just have to figure out which ones I really want and am willing to wait until they go down into the $5.00 range.

I have an Ipad and a Kindle. I love the Ipad for travel, for checking email and keeping up with this board. It's nice to use in the evening when I am watching TV with my husband, too.
I bought myself a Kindle for my birthday in January because of the size and ease of ordering books. I got 3G because I am sometimes at my parents or other places and don't have wireless and I am obsessive about reading. I didn't feel the need for color because of what I like to read and I still collect my quilt books. Since I read each night lying down in bed the smaller Kindle is perfect for me!
