I love my kindle, but I still love a good print book. I can write in a print book, I can flip through pages and quickly recognize what I'm looking for. Print books really do smell nice too.

But I like reading for pleasure on my kindle, it's much more convenient, there's a built-in backlight so I don't have to worry about a light source or I can lay in bed with the lights off and still read until I fall asleep. There's advantages and disadvantages to both.
