My only argument for is being able to carry around what would otherwise be a four plus pound tome of a book much easier.
But that oh we automatically destroy contracts over X years too bad pay up again that is major bullshit. I mean if they just want to do a subscription they should just fucking say so in the first place.
ETA : with the nook on low brightness with night color scheme I find I don’t stay up till I finish the book like I used to when waking up at 2am and going out to read with a regular book and having a light on. Good for my sleep but not so much for my reading list.
