Most e-books that I've found are a) to expensive (you can buy a used book on Amazon for less) b) there is not a lot of content out there c) there is no standard format that work's from device to device.
On the plus side I do find them very convient (I always have a book with me). Reading on my Palm has two big plus's 1) I can increase the size of the type (as I get older this is a real plus) 2) there is less crap to carry around ( books, note pad, camera, address book, phone, and on and on all in one small package). The battery life could be better, but..........
