Kindle Demo

To Ebook or not to Ebook that is the question?

This question has been in my mind for some time. More to the point do I buy and Ebook reader like a Kindle or don’t I? I read a lot and I have had people demo the benefits of such a devise to me, and to the most parts I agree with them. It’s small, compact, portable, has built in benefits like a dictionary etc, can carry my whole library and is instant as far as getting content when i want it.

The only thing that is troubling me or causing me not to make the jump is two fold:

1) I like collecting books, and there is something in my mind that is saying ‘you don’t really own the book, you just own a bit of data’
2) What happens if it all goes wrong and you loose everything?

This isn’t really an open and shut topic I guess, I need some convincing and I was hoping someone could shed some light on my concerns.

Thanks.

In short, I won’t choose iPad or Nook Color, because they’re using backlight screen like computer screen, and is difficult to our eyes. Just not suitable for reading purpose. For other ebook readers including the B&N Nook, Sony Reader, and Amazon Kindle, I’ll go for the Kindle. For the Sony Reader, many books (especially new releases) cannot be easily find on it. For the Nook, it is good but it is slower and less user friendly compared to the new version of Kindle.

There is also quite a good comparison between the ebook readers here:
