I am fairly confident I will not give up paper entirely--I really don't want to read in the bath on anything electronic, I definitely like paper better than eInk, and there are still a lot of advantages of paper books that make me more willing to spend money on them (plus I read a lot of heavily illustrated nonfiction that just doesn't work so well on a small screen, if it were even available digitally, which it's not). I want an ereader for some very specific purposes as a complement to my paper library, not as a replacement for it.

The problem with the idea in that thread is that I can play around with one in a store fine, but I really need to be able to borrow one for a few days, and I don't see a stranger doing that. I sure wouldn't.
