I got into a discussion at work not too long ago about e-readers.
Pros: The books are less expensive, you can store many books on your device which makes it easier to carry multiple books around without carting multiple books around, you can download them onto your smart phone for extra convenience, and they can display PDFs you may wish to read.
Cons: Depending on the size of your reader, the text may be too small and it could damage your eyes staring at a screen, if you have to magnify, flipping the page may be inconvenient, you lose the feeling of holding an actual book in your hands that many people like, and they are harder to annotate if you are the type of person who likes to make notes in your book.
