I agree with Sarah. I was very resistant to the e-readers. I even bought a nook back in December, kept it for a few days and returned it. I love the feel of a book, however, the books I read (YA) are generally rather large and tough to carry around with me. The other downside I found is I generally got most of my books from the library and with the e-reader, you generally have to buy them (and I'm cheap!)

I bought another Nook 2nd Generation (WAY better than 1st generation). The library is adding a lot more books to the availability so I can still rent books just not with the availability that I have with hard copy books. I LOVE being able to throw it in my purse and just go. I always have it with me. I really do love having it!

Haha, I'm kind of torn. When e-readers first came out, I was adamantly against them. Now I'm kind of in love with them. I just ran out of space for all my books and my Kindle just makes my life easier. E-readers can't replace the actual books, but they are helpful.

I love your blog. I'm a new follower. ;)

I was very, very resistant to getting an e-reader, but my local Borders closed back in February and I lost my place to buy books when I need them RIGHT NOW (instead of waiting a couple of days for Amazon to ship them because I'm all about instant gratification). So I got a Kindle and now love it! It does not replace paper books for me... I still have two overflowing shelves of paper books and continue to buy paper books, but it's a great supplement and it's awesome to be able to buy a book you are dying to read (like a sequel you just have to have) and start it within a couple of seconds without having to leave the house! I now also have a Nook as well so I can take advantage of the digital titles offered by my library, so you can say that I'm definitely an e-reader convert!

I love my Kindle 3 which I bought last year. True, it may not replace real books but it does save space. And we get to download galleys from Netgalley as well. That's the great part. :)

For me, e-readers will not replace physical books. It's just something extra that makes reading easy and enjoyable.
