I, like yourself, am an avid reader and much prefer a real book to the digital version. I don't collect books anymore because I simply don't have the space. After taking several truckloads of books down to donate to the library and other places, the space on my bookshelves is reserved for important books like a signed copy of Herb Cain's Bagdad by the Bay or reference material.

Where the e-reader is great is in the fact that you can damn near take the library of congress with you in a small slot in your suitcase. I love that.
