I think e readers are really cool and it's awesome how you can have so many books right there without even leaving home. However, I prefer holding a real book in hand any day

I really do love e readers. I have a kindle fire that I use all the time. I do hope, though, that they don't completely replace real books

I have owned a Kindle Fire, my kids have nooks, and I currently use an IPAD. My favorite so far is the IPAD.

Ebooks will not replace paperbacks, it will enhance how we read. There is always the special books that you want because you love the book, the author signed the book. Ebooks save space and time. I can preorder the books and dont have to wait. The reading enthusiast such as myself is excited to read the ebooks.

There is always people of the opinion that do not want ebooks and prefer books, they like the feel and smell of it. Personally I could go either way.

I've never tried Nook and Sony eBook reader, but I tried out kindle and I like it so far.

I don't have a perused and I won't get it just as I incline toward paper books which I can feel.

I have a a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 and I just love it. I have both Kindle and Nook books on it. I downloaded the kindle program for it for free. I for one prefer electronic books, because you can take your tablet anywhere and since I read so much it is very convenient.

E-readers are definitely the best thing one should have. It helps to categorise the contents more effectively and also can track the progress.

All different branded e readers has its own merits and demerits. If you made a good comparison I would say Kindle are the better ones out in the market.

I think e-readers have their reasons because I myself am one, the reason I use e-reader is because of the lack of up to date books in the library close to me.
