I can't say I prefer ebooks to paperbacks as much as you do, but I
certainly prefer them to hardbacks.  And I read on my Palm a _lot_,
It's nice to be able to go to my card and pick which one of 80 to 100
books I want to read next rather than try to remember in which
bookshelf or carton I left the paperback.  Nice for reading in bed,
too, as the slight amount of light doesn't distress my husband the way
a lamp for the paperback would.  Hardcovers are pretty out with me.
Cost too much, too awkward to handle, too big for my purse, etc..

Only problem with Palm is reading in the bathtub.  Putting it in a zip
lock baggie works fine, but it's slippery slidey and sometimes a bit
hard to read through the baggie.  And I still worry about dropping it
in the hot water.
