E Readers, yes or no

[jofeb04]

Hiya,

I am thinking of getting an e-reader (primarily for some fiction, but also some text books as well). Seen a few I like, but is it worth it?

The books seem to be a similar price to the paper book so may not be a saving.

Are they too small to use regulary, or are they best for holidays or travelling etc.

Thanks

I can see the point for holidays and travel but not for at home. Why get achey eyes and waste electricity or batteries when you can just have a book for the same price.

Plus books can't go wrong, they don't need a warranty, and you can still read a book if you spill your tea over it.

To be fair though I'm not a gadget girl and I suppose it might be a good way of getting boys to read more.
