There's something I just have to say, and it might make me look like a dinosaur, but here goes:
I really, really prefer "traditional" books to e-Readers.
Why? Because of so many reasons!

I like the look and feel of books, the feel of covers, the imaginative use of fonts, the feeling of turning the page - all of which you cannot get with an e-Reader. But even more than that - I like the fact that, when you're reading a book and you get tired, you can simply slot a bookmark in and get back to it later. (You can probably do that with e-Readers too, but it's just not the same). More than anything, books - GOOD books - depend on characters, plot, dialogue and narrative. A combination of memorable characters, cracking dialogue and an exciting narrative can really drive a book and fire your imagination. This is why I like talking books too. A skilled voice actor can easily and memorably portray many scenes and many characters; when the talking book is actually a dramatisation (e.g. an adaptation of the book as a radio series, with music and sound effects and so on), so much the better!

But squinting at a tiny LCD screen is just not the same.
The only way in which an e-Reader might be superior to a book is size. It's simply more convenient to carry an e-Reader on the train or somewhere where you don't have a lot of room. And, all right, if you have to carry out repairs or some-such in an environment where you don't have a lot of room (e.g. inside a metal tube?) and you need to look up how to do it, an e-Reader could help. But otherwise? If you're like me, and you like reading to relax or unwind, or to get something that "grabs" you, you just can't beat a book.
So what's your opinion, hmm?
