Comments are fascinating related to this device, though in my opinion the interesting story here is the direction the functionality is taking. That is something to note and watch carefully. Amazons stake in the content/functionality ground is also likely significant.

Love my Sony e-reader...it makes shopping for books fast, convenient and it makes transporting my books a lightweight business. Plus e-readers have changed the entire dynamics of publishing...anyone interested in publishing their creative work can do so via PDF, epub and best of all-it saves trees:)

I guess I have to eat my words a little bit now that I bought a Nook. I still mostly read paper books but the Nook is great for electronic ARCs and I am able to subscribe to a newspaper that I can't subscribe to in print. I haven't traveled with it yet but I am looking forward to not lugging a pile of books on the plane. I have checked out one library eBook from Overdrive and the experience was not difficult.

I finally broke down and bought a Kindle two months ago. I travel a lot and it is great for that. GREAT. Battery life could be more stable, but still, for travel I prefer it to print books. I wish I could trade a slew of my paper books in for electronic versions to be honest.

This is absolutely true. Amazon reported they've sold more ebooks than physical books. The trend is undeniable. I wonder how many years or decades until paper books are no longer produced.
There are so many readers and devices out there, and the process can get complicated especially for multi-media books. This has really increased the market for eBook conversion services.
