Well, the big advantage to the ereaders is you can throw hundreds or thousands of books on there, for free if you pirate, and be content for a number of years and never run out of anything to read. Also for those of you who like ereaders who don't have a back-lit one, holy shit is it great. I don't have to worry about lighting anymore ever, which is pretty damn convenient. If you are traveling or moving around I honestly believe the ereader is just a better choice. It weighs less than a book, and I always end up damaging my books when I throw them in bags, which I hate. You may not have that problem though.

There is still the matter of just having books around, which is the reason I still hold on to my paper books. Plus it makes it at least seem like you aren't an unintelligent buffoon. If you walk into someones house or room and there is an absence of books, it's usually a good idea to question whether you actually want to be hanging out with that person. Also sometimes you just want to read an actual book. I really don't think there is any disadvantage to an ereader though. It's more of a personal opinion/choice. I just love all the free books. I'm fucking broke right now.
