The End of Books?

In an effort to reduce the amount of clutter in our house, we started selling/donating/throwing away unneeded belongings. One of the toughest things I’m currently dealing with is the excess of books we have. I already made a couple of passes to get rid of books I probably won’t ever read too often and donated them to the public library.
On the flipside, though, “eReaders” are starting to pick up some steam in terms of availability and selection. Has anyone considered picking one up? The idea of having an entire library at my fingertips is appealing in its efficiency. I’d miss the visceral feel of a book (and the ability to lend it to someone), though.
Thoughts?
