I've been wavering on whether or not a wanted an electronic reader for about 3 years now. I almost requested a Kindle 3 Christmases ago. I decided against it and boy have I been glad about that! First of all, they've come a long way in the technology department since then, and they are also less than half of what they cost back then.
One of my big hold-ups regarding getting one is the lack of ability to borrow books (though I think that B&N's Nook offers that now on some level). However, I have this week had the epiphany that I'm a book loaner, not really a book borrower. I probably borrow less than 2% of the books I read every year. So I'm holding myself back due to the fact that my friends like to read my books. Now I love my friends, but I'm thinking this is some warped logic.
Oh well, I'm sure I'll stay on the fence on the matter and won't actually bite the bullet. If ipads were cheaper, I'd probably go that route. But since Apple thinks they are pretty cool and charges a ton for them, I think I'm leaning toward the Nook. You want to know the primary reason that I'm leaning Nook rather than Kindle? They have fabulous covers for the Nook. Yep, that's my shallow reason. They have Kate Spade and Lilly Pulitzer. Nuf' said!
If you have one of these e-readers, weigh in on whether you love yours or not.
