Don't get me wrong - I still think eReaders are amazing devices, it's just with this new development, you might not need to buy one. You can check one out from your library. At the Edmonton Public Library system in Alberta, Canada, you can not only check out an eBook, but also the reader to view it on.
Right now, their device of choice is a Sony model, but expect other libraries to just go with whichever one is cheapest at the time.
You can check one out for up to three weeks at a time, perfect for anyone who is going to go on vacation and would like to test out a reader before they commit to one. Late fees are a dollar a day (just like Blockbuster!) and the replacement cost, should you suffer some misfortune, is $215 bucks.
It's a great deal, but I can imagine there will be quite a waiting line for these guys.
