e-readers are good

I got an iPad-2 this year and am amazed at the convenience and economy of having multiple books on one light-weight device; at the efficiency of having a built-in dictionary and search function available at the flick of a finger. I'm sold. This, from a long-term aficionado of "real" books, a guy who would rather be at a bookstore, browsing and buying, than just about anything else.
