I'm glad it's worked so well for you. I do think "standard screen" books are worthwhile, I just wouldn't argue that they provide a better reading experience than books. A lot of people get eye strain from staring at bright screens for a long time, battery life on backlit portable electronics is pretty abysmal, and so on. Personally, I like to pull up a book on my laptop while waiting for the professor to walk into class, but I wouldn't want to read my laptop instead of a book. That IS the case, though, with my ereader. I'd rather read it than a book.
I'll probably get an ereader at some point, mainly because it's a bit of a hassle to convert my books to a readable format for my psp. Until then, I've adapted. I really have no problems with staring at screens for a long time luckily.

You can with some of the more expensive models.

Ideally, universities will start renting out eTextbook readers, or something. *NM*

That'd be great. My school rents out standard ebook readers now, so it won't be long. *NM*

Amazon has actually been using that idea for a while now, in a limited sense.

A possible selling point for me was when you said it was lighter than a paperback
