You can also read a book by candle light during a hurricane. The Kindle will eventully lose power. Also, with a Kindle, I think you're really only renting the books. Eventually, you lose the right to read them. And of course, some are not available in electronic editions. So, we agree on this...I prefer paper books.
Oh, and you can't read a Kindle during takeoff and landing.
