Go for E-book reader or Not?

Since two months, I had been thinking whether to buy e-book reader or not?

The thought to have a e-book reader came to me when I found difficulty in reading books on a laptop for a longer time. I have amassed interesting/useful books to be read. I am unable to finish my gathered books because, I Daily spend more than 9 hr in front of computer as part of job and I hate to spend another few hr in front of my laptop to read these books. Hardcopy books are nice to read but they aren’t portable(their size and weight).

Then why go for e-book reader?

• Improves readability
• Portability (e-book reader weighs between 200 g to 600 g)
• Most important, no strain on eyes
• Comfort

After much thinking and bit research, I have taken decision now not to buy e-book reader this year, Reasons are:

• e-book reader, it’s hardware and software technology is in preliminary stage only.
• In 2010, new players are entering this market, so we see advances in this technologies..
• Increase in competition in 2010, thus reduce in price (currently 6 inch e-book cost ranges from $270 to $400)
