I owned and tested various readers (including the previous Kindle) but until now a traditional book is unbeatable (at least in my eyes). Here is my major reasons behind this: - The setup cost is too high for an electronic reader. Starting or jumping in a book is faster than starting a reader especially when you have 5 minutes to kill in a traffic jam or while being in a train/metro. - Comfort of reading is still much better with a traditional book. Having an electronic device emitting light while reading a book in your bed is not really comfortable if you want to sleep afterward. - Annotation. I'm writing, adding post-it or even adding pages in my books... Sorry but beating a pencil in a book is difficult for a software reader. I think annotation is really important for technical books when you start to use and master a specific technology. - Social impact. I like to share books with other and even with strangers in the train. With electronic reader socialization is much more difficult than with traditional books where everyone can read the cover. I'm still not really convinced or found a real practical use of such readers for my day-to-day technical reading. The only advantage for electronic books is the fast look-up but with some nice placed annotation you can even beat the ebook look-up/search...
