I like the idea of an e-reader
But stuff like this puts me off: www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44350&highlight=amazon+banning

Also I lack room for anything other than phone/keys/wallet in my pockets so an e-reader would require me to carry a rucksack with me which means I could carry my netbook instead which is comparable in price but much more useful especially if I ever get around to getting a mobile internet contract.

It also means I could avoid using any of the proprietary file formats that could so easily become as useful as a chocolate teapot as soon as support from the vendor for the format dries up.

Mind you I don't know what formats the sony reader supports.
