"Feels like a book" (for e-readers or against?)

I concur that it's safe to assume all of us here have a love affair with the written word. Hence, I come here to gather your opinions on e-book readers like Kindle, Nook, etc. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that, like it or not, they will revolutionize the way we read.

I don't currently own an e-reader but I've considered it, just like some of you. There is an inner battle taking place. I love being able to linger on the feel of a book...the scent of it, the unique font, the paper it's printed on. It's a sensory experience that makes reading a comforting, healing ritual...
On the other hand, I have to struggle with the inconvenience of having boxes and boxes of books.

So I come here to see what you fine people think.

Do you own an e-reader? Are you for them or against them? Do you like the prospect of carrying a whole bookshelf in your bag?
