Are any of you using an e-reader? I bought the model they sell at Borders, the Kobo. It’s cool: simple to use (most of the functions are in one multi-directional button at lower right) and easy on the eyes with its e-ink screen, similar to the Kindle and Nook. And very thin and light; it’s the dimensions of a mass-market paperback but much slimmer.

The Kobo came loaded with 100 public domain (past their copyright) classics. I was already reading “The Return of Sherlock Holmes,” which is on the Kobo, so I’ve switched from my paperback to the electronic version. The e-reader should be especially useful when I’m traveling and don’t want to pack books.

If you have one, what do you think of its pluses and minuses?
