Mostly because I love everything about books! I think the 'feel' of the books will be lost. Plus sometimes I like to hug my books,browse through the pages...all this will never be possible through an e-reader. So I wouldn't get it. But ofcourse you have got some valid points too,like saving cash. I don’t have one and I don’t quite like the idea of it too. Mostly because I love everything about books!

My problem is that I don't normally buy books, I'm a big library junkie but my library can check out books to e-readers now which is awesome. You still get the instant gratification thing, but with no money. For me it would be about portability. I like to have something to read with me, besides my phone :). But also from a blog perspective I think Jennifer is right, being able to do reviews and things of e-books would open a lot of doors as far as reviews go.

All the classics are free, plus e-books are so cheap and easy to store! I think the best value for the money is Kindle over all the other.

Logic is my secret lover. Anyway. I tweeted again using my espeutish account. That seemed to actually work.

I'm drowning in books. But, saving money? Yeah, no, you're pretty much right on target with that. I've bought more books because of the whole instant gratification thing and I've spend way more than I would have on physical books. I love my nook. It's so pretty. With expandable memory! But for getting really good deals on books, Amazon seems the right way to go. Amazon is always promoting it's free and under a dollar books. And there are many independent websites devoted to seeking them out for you. B&N doesn't have that going on yet. Mark Henry's newest book came out as a free read during its release week. Exciting, right? I never would have known if Henry hadn't directed his followers to it on Twitter. I had seen it linked to on Amazon by others, but never knew I could get it from B&N. The Nook just doesn't have the community behind it yet to promote these things. Maybe down the road it will, but it's hard to save money if you don't know about the best sales. If you take the money aspect out of it, ereaders are great for book bloggers. Lots of publishers (especially small ones) would rather send out ebooks than physical copies for review. I receive way more pitches now that I've began accepting ebooks for review and My motivation behind getting an ereader was to have a place to store my books that wouldn’t take up any actual space.
