Ebook readers?

I put this here because I had no idea where I would put it?

Has anyone considered using an Ebook reader? I'm the first one to admit I was ultimately skeptical about the whole affair but it's actually a lot more ergonomic and usable than one might think. I've been used to the Books app on the iPad which is excellent, with really smooth options for making text larger/smaller, screen intensity and just little aesthetic touches like page colour changes to simulate an old book. I know it's all somewhat inconsequential in the face of the actual material you're reading, but I personally find Ebook readers really quite convenient. I read an trial except from Excession and have a few golden classics completely free.

I'll let you know my thoughts after Christmas, as it's been heavily implied I'll be getting one then.

I love using my iPad as an ebook reader, the lighting on it just makes it easy to read, although glare is sometimes a problem, it very rarely is, and it's strengths far outweigh it's weaknesses.

My brother in law's girlfriend has one, and she LOVES the thing.

Ah, I'd never really heard of that before now, Barnes & Noble is a very american thing.

I've got the base line Barnes and Noble Nook......and I love it. I can carry all my books with me, and book shopping got really easy. No more going to the bookstore 8)

It's a reference to an old song by a band called Limp Bizkit.

...oh dear Lord please don't let Limp Bizkit now be considered old.
