I still haven't purchased an e-reader.
It seems that every week I run into somebody else who's just gotten one. And he or she loves it.
So what am I waiting for?
Dunno. (I've never been accused of being an early adopter. I like to wait until all the bugs and poor design elements have been fixed. And usually, I'm satisfied with whatever I'm currently using (did I mention that my cell phone makes phone calls? That's it. Just phone calls. No pictures, no video, no web-surfing, no GPS. I think it has an alarm clock feature.))
Maybe I'm waiting for a clear winner. Right now, I'd have to say the Kindle is in the lead, but them iPads sure do look purty.
Maybe I'm waiting until I get through my (printed book) TBR pile. Although that might take a while.
Maybe I'm waiting until ebooks have a greater market share.
Maybe I'm waiting until I get a fancy smartphone and see how easy/hard it is to read books on it. One device that does all would be convenient.
Maybe I'm waiting for prices to go down.
Maybe I'm just putting off having to make a decision.
What about you? If you haven't bought an e-reader yet, what are YOU waiting for?
