I wonder how many people here have barcode scanners at home. I have three. But despite that love of physical printed books, I can see the appeal of e-readers, especially when I'm away from home. But I'm not away from home enough these days to be prepared to pay current prices for either readers or content, If they come down in price to the point where it's worth it, I'll buy one. If they don't, I won't. It's all about whether the job they do justifies the cost or not, and so far, it doesn't.
