I'm a big supporter of multi-format and love the idea of people reading my books on their PC, their reader, and their phone/pda so I have no problem with them reading on paper as well. On the other hand, I'm not so big on buying a book that you can give away and also keep. Seems to me, if you want to read it, you should buy a copy for yourself.
