    I’m with you. Years ago now I got one and was blown away. I had hundreds and hundreds of paper novels and thought id never ever want to read on a screen, now I only have about 10 special books, and have moved exclusively to ereader (and audiobooks…).

    The screen is better than paper. It lasts for months on a charge. It can carry thousands and thousands of books. I can use it in the dark without bothering anyone else with the light.

    The only downside is, of course, in the event of The Apocalypse, I may not have electricity. But even that is mitigated by having a couple of solar powered usb chargers :)

    Mitigated, not solved completely. Hopefully society rebuilds before the solar chargers die?
