I don't have any plans to acquire an ebook reader any time soon, because my reading habits tend more towards nonfiction and most of the titles I'm interested in reading don't always have ebook versions. But if I did get one, I'd probably go to Project Gutenberg first, because (a) I do occasional work for them and I like to support the project whenever I can, and (b) nine times out of ten, if I'm in need of a book that I don't want to buy outright then I'd rather go to the library and use the services I've already paid for through my taxes.

However, I'm also more than a bit of a Luddite when it comes to ebooks, so until the technology is more firmly established and the DRM wars are sorted out, I think I'll stick with paper.
