Konflicted

As an avid reader, I am conflicted about the new wave of e-readers that have recently hit the market. First and foremost, I am conflicted as to whether I should even get one. I love books. I love looking at the author's picture, reading their biography, which I often flip to at several points throughout any book. I like being able to flip back in the story and refresh, if I have to. And I like the way they look on my shelves. I grew up surrounded by books. Literally. Piled in floor to ceiling bookshelves. Plus, as a recent library convert, I'm not so sure I want to go back to buying books. Citycrab has pointed out endless times that online content is cheaper than written content but it's not purely economical with me. I did some research thinking that might help me get over my issues. The information was overwhelming. I even paid for a monthly Consumer Report online membership. (Side note: you can join for $5.99 for a month. Totally worth it, IMO.) Kindle, Nook, E-reader, iPad and various other models. I remain konflicted. And, overwhelmed, too.
