To Buy a Kindle, Or Not To Buy a Kindle: That is the Question

Edit Post

Okay so today is my birthday *squeals of excitement*, and I get to pick my present from my parents, I know great surprise! Anyway I was thinking I should ask for a little thing known as a kindle from Amazon as the Aussie dollar is so high against the US plus they just look so cool but I’m just not sure at the moment, I don’t know if I’d actually use it plus I do like the feel of an actual book, then again I’m running out of room to store my books also I wont have to carry a big book around in my bag whenever I go anywhere.
Basically long story short I’m just not sure if I should get one, so I really need some help from you guys, what do you think, do any of you have an e-reader, if yes do you like it? Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated, I really need your help, thanks!

- Greetings fellow blog readers, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. Now you may be wondering who is lost.in.stories? Well lost.in.stories is also known as Romy, a 23 year old graduate student from Australia who loves to read. I read (maybe devour would be a more appropriate word) largely young adult novels, with a particular love of fantasy and paranormal novels, however I am also a sucker for a good romance.

I bought a Sony Touch not all that long ago and I love it. I still am reading print books, but the ereader is surprisingly convenient for things like reading standing up in a crowded train, lying in bed, for days when I have forgotten my glasses so I just increase the size of the text etc etc
The geographical restrictions are a pain. There are several books that I really want to read that just aren't available to Australians.
My ereader isn't a replacement for books as such, it is in addition to physical books.

I have decided not to jump on that bandwagon yet.

I had a birthday during Aussiecon, myself, and bought myself a gift - commissioned a silver wolf brooch from Cindy Smith, which is just about to be posted. Not the same as a Kindle, but takes up less space. ;-)

I don't have an eReader or Kindle, but I have been considering the pros and cons of getting one for awhile now. I think the best thing about them is ease with travel and taking up less room, being able to try something out that you're not sure of before buying it, and possibly cheaper reads.
But if you love books maybe it is really one of those things you have to decide you will use a fair bit. The big thing for me with not getting it is my obsession with books and I can't read on screens like I can with books. Having one doesn't necessarily mean you won't be reading books as much though.
I hope you were able to decide and had a great birthday.
