But Ebooks are free.

The only real reasons to own a ebook reader is if you travel for months at a time, live in a foreign country, only read public domain books, or pirate ebooks.

The readers are expensive as hell, the books aren't any cheaper than the paper versions new, and there are no used books. Price wise it just makes no sense for most poeple.

I have a Kindle. I wouldn't have one if I wasn't living in the middle of nowhere in a non-English speaking country, but I do. And I love it. And I do pirate ebooks, sometimes.

I do worry that it will change the way I relate to books. In the couple weeks since I got it, I haven't touched any of the other unread English books I had lying around my apartment (with the exception of some comics). Granted, they were books I didn't have a lot of interest in (mostly trashy fantasy inherited from the previous owner of this apartment) but I was reading them before, if only because they were in English. I can't believe that I'll never read a book again... but will I?

Also, I read super fast. I haven't traveled with my Kindle yet, but I bet it's gonna be better than taking two books in my backpack for a long weekend.

Just take War & Peace. That should last a long weekend.
