I used to use my iPaq and eReader to read eBooks, which I very much enjoyed although the small screen on a PDA tends to get hard on the eyes, even though eReader offers a few textured backgrounds and wonderful fonts to soften the eye strain. Some eBooks I purchased from eReader’s online store, and some I created with a set of VBA scripts I wrote for Word to convert a .txt or .rtf into an eReader book.
I have eReader installed on my new Sprint Mogul (aka HTC 6800) but no eBooks and I’m not positive I want to go there again with that teeny little screen.
I know Sony has their Reader device, which is doing well. Trouble is I’ve become very biased against Sony in general so I tend to avoid buying anything from them. From the little I’ve read, Amazon.com’s new Kindle reader is even better than the Reader and has far more books available.
Any of the MMO bloggers have one (or the Reader?) who has an opinion on it? Or would I be better off waiting til the next generation of the device is on the market?

I’ve heard great things about it, though I still prefer traditional books, personally.
As do I, though I’m a gear-whore too. Problem is I read quite a bit, which means tons of paperback books cluttering shelves and closets. eBooks eliminate that problem.
The problem they won’t eliminate is the whole “no portable electronic devices below 10,000′ MSL” rule. That’s a fair amount of time between taxiing, climbing to and descending from 10,000′ where I can read a paperback while I’m commuting to and from work.
