If I were a reader I’d be an eReader…thats cheesy.
If I were a reader I think I would want an eReader, but I don’t really know why. I think its because they’re the newest thing and when I played with a Kindle it was really easy on the eyes. They are really on the eyes and you can carry all your books with you all the time. Here is a chart I found on CrunchGear
