Overall, I think the situation with eReaders are pretty much the same as
with MP3 players.
There are devices to listen music, and there are software for desktop

As for reading anything with an eReader device, I have not even remotely
considered a such event. If someone gives me one, and the usage is free,
then maybe. I see no need to buy one.
