i dont do nearly enough reading.  What is your opinion on eReaders vs regular books?  Worthwhile or not?

the original kindles are awesome. they have a matte screen that doesnt glare and it really looks like actual paper. you can change the font and orientation of the screen. mind also had some basic web browsing capabilities but it was annoying to use

i'm not sure if they still make those kind though. amazon got swept away in the whole tablet thing and forgot that kindles were for reading

Im looking at a second generation one so id imagine its pretty close to the original.  It isnt at more than 30 bucks right now but im sure it will go up in the final minutes of the auction

This times a million.  For straight up reading, the original kindles are VASTLY superior to any modern tablet or e-reader IMO.

The difference is in the NON backlit screen.  It's worlds apart from something backlit.  And the batteries last like 30 days or so.  You can get one for like $40 on ebay.

I have a 6" Kobo that was something like $30 refurbished. Don't use it a whole lot but the readability is good. Pretty hackable too.
