Book or E-reader?

 Let me tell you, i'm TORN. Its been a while, and by this i mean MONTHS, and i have yet to make a decision...

Decision #1: to buy an e-reader or not to buy an e-reader? you see, the problem is i ADORE my books! But, i travel alot, and i tend to carry at least 5-6 paperbacks with me on a week-long trip when i leave home, manage to buy a couple more books at the bookstore in the airport (despite their crappy selection) and do you see where this is going? Excess luggage, plus the bother of so many books! That's one aspect. The other is will an e-reader compare with the real deal? I don't know.. but this article that i came across kinda shares the pain shweya

Will Ebooks Kill The Joy of Reading?

Now the other thing is:
Decision #2: which freakin e-reader should i go for????!!!! it seems like the moment i decide on one, 500 new ones pop up on the market (i exaggerate, i know...) but it doesn't really help me right now. Right now, i'm most likely going with the Barnes & Noble Nook, but i'm still not sure... *sigh*
