7+7 Reasons Why eReaders are Lousy+ Great Gifts This Year?

Mike Elgan from ComputerWorld writes 7 reasons why e-book readers make lousy gifts this year. In counter, Lance Ulanoff from PCmag writes 7 Reasons Why eReaders Make Great Gifts This Year. The following table shows the main points from these two authors:

Why Lousy?	Why Great?
We’re on the brink of radical change in how people read e-books	Form Follows Function
E-book readers are the least discounted gadgets on the market	There is No better Way to Travel with All of Your Reading Material
There are so many other new ways to read e-books	Access to the Digital e-book Store is Free, No Matter Where You Are and Books are Cheaper, Too
Access to the Digital e-book Store is Free, No Matter Where You Are and Books are Cheaper, Too	E-books are the Best Way to Read the Old-Fashioned Way
E-book readers are old and busted	E-books Are for Sharing
Everyone who really wanted one already has one	Lots of People Still Want e-books
One of the best choices is unavailable	E-reader Technology is Still Cutting Edge

So what do you think? For me, both set of arguments are equally appealing; but I can’t resist myself buying one ereader. To be precise, I like both physical books and ebooks; but I don’t need a lot of the books to keep stacked on my table or shelf. And at the same time I want some ereader to be able to give me some sort of benefits that I can’t get from physical books. The ebook market is evolving very fast. You might not get a perfect one that suits all your needs; but as long as you enjoy reading on such a device you can go for that.
