I prefer reading conventional books. This way, I can actually see the correct spellings of words and good sentence constructs.

I think there's the Gutenburg project where they want to convert all books to ebooks so people can get ebook versions. But yeah, I just bought a Kindle 2.0 and I have, so far, downloaded a couple classics for free, and one inexpensive book from Amazon.com (they do charge for most of them) and some fiction books (free) I found from a search of some binary newsgroups that put out floods of books and articles. My Kindle is by no means full but I have only had it less than a week. I think it's a nice addition to one's library and could be good for trips. I also read an article about a woman who lives in kind of a remote area so she can't always easily get to libraries and book stores and she uses her Kindle a lot.

Wow... I butchered my question.

I love BN's new eBook reader... unfortunately, as of right now, if you don't have an iPhone, blackberry or laptop you can't take them any where like the Kindle, but.. i would never spend so much money on a eReader just to save trees, when i would have to pay for books to go along with it to be able to actually use the thing... I'd rather own the conventional books... sure eBooks are better, esp. to be able to keep track of the books you've bought and stuff so if you need to reference them you don't have to look for ages, but I think, still being in school for me, and the fact that we're not allowed to have electronics out, and the fact that (sad to say) most of my recreational reading happens in class, it wouldn't do me any good...

No, nor will I ever. My Aspire One has a library full of books that the Kindle never will and functions that that the Kindle can't even dream of yet barely cost any more.
