Like a couple of others here, I gave the Kindle a spin, and I prefer not to. I will probably consider it for flights, but when I can get the print book, I will. I recently read Churchill's The Gathering Storm, which is the first in a 5 part series on WWII. I have found all but the second book at used bookstores, and I haven't even considered reading it on the Kindle instead. It simply isn't as enjoyable. Also, I feel like I am getting ripped off paying so much for a digital copy that I can't loan to a friend. IMO we often can't tell the difference between what is possible, and what we want. ebooks have a lot of advantages. But, it doesn't mean that their disadvantages aren't real, or that you are a luddite for deciding that they are a deal-breaker.
