Kindles and Nooks and iPads, Oh My

I've been reading a lot about eReaders these days. One article that stood out was how 30 million people in the U.S. will own eReaders by 2015.

Zoinks! That's an incredible number.

This, on top of the news that ebooks outsold real books last Christmas, and this summer the news that ebooks outsold hardcovers by 50% according to Amazon.

Seems the digital revolution is upon us.

With Kindles coming down to a very reasonable $139, I can see why people are snapping them up. And I'm not much of a "gadget guy" but when I finally saw the Nook and Kindle and iPad in person, I became suddenly enamored. I must have one.

So I'm taking recommendations. Kindles? Nooks? iPads? Sony Readers?

I LOVE my Kindle! I looked at a Nook as well, but I had a really hard time going back and forth between the touch screen and e-ink screen. It sort of stressed me out. My Kindle is totally my new favorite thing though... I'm not sure I've ever loved a piece of technology more. :)

I am addicted to my Nook...which sounds dirty...maybe that is why I chose it in the first place?
