Do you own an eBook reader--Kindle, Sony Reader, or Nook? What do you like or dislike about it?

I have just been given a Sony Reader and am still learning the ins and outs.
Loading books from the Store is very easy (and I am not always a comfortable computer user) and I was able to figure it out in about 10 minutes. I have not yet tried downloading one of the library's offerings.
I like the many size font offerings. And I've started to use the note taking capabilities. Still haven't mastered the dictionary aspect.
It is comfortable to hold. I have a cover for the unit, but the extra little ridge makes it not as easy for me to hold with it on.
The cost of books seems to be running from half to two thirds the cost of current books. Some older stuff is less than the cost of a paperback. Most stuff out of copyright is available free.

Rachel | 22 comments I don't have any of them and I am strongly anti-e-readers!! I love the feel of holding a book in my hand and of turning the pages. I understand the convience and that they might work for others, but leave me out :-)
