Electronic or print? Or blow your load about your new Kindle.

I haven't decided to pony up the dough to buy an electronic book reader yet, but I'm itching for one more and more. At the present moment, I'm lucky enough to be at home most of the time, so I still don't mind buying actual books and reading them, but whenever I have stints of work where I need to commute I generally start to feel the itch to go out and buy one. Our place is also starting to look like an abandoned library with the books I leave everywhere for lack of storage space, and my habit of picking up whatever seems interesting whenever I'm in a used book store isn't helping.

The only thing I dislike with the kindle and such is the lack of color. I don't mind it for reading a regular book, obviously, but it would suck to have a book which has color photos/diagrams/artwork in it and not be able to get the true impression. I do admit though, that is a minor concern.

I do really enjoy physical books though, and I'm ensured a steady supply of them from a buddy of mine. As you might expect, there's advantages to both media.

This reminds me of the major reason I would like an ereader. I have a home phone, and my cell is just the cheapest thing I could find, basically to be able to call/receive calls if something is really important and I absolutely can't be at home. I have an ipod, but it's a classic, and the screen is too small to do any extensive reading on it, plus I have to change the format to some kind of text, which often screws with the text formatting of the PDFs.

But with the new smartphones and such, do those among you who have those feel the need to actually have a dedicated reading device besides that, considering that the screen on a lot of those things is big enough to not make it a complete chore to read on them?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
