Reading books on an electronic device really just seems to suck the heart and soul right out of it, IMHO. Just my 2 cents, though.

I'm sure you have eaten at a fast food place. Not the same as sitting down at a 5 star restaurant is it? But it does serve a purpose. And there is no law, no rule that says you can't have both. Same deal with the Kindle (or any e-reader).

As a book lover, no, the Kindle will never be the same as touching the beauty of a hardcover - but imagine being able to have over half of your library in your coat pocket just for those fast food times.
