I much prefer to read a book and proudly have all my books on a shelf, you can easily lose the kindle or it crashes and then what will you do.
I agree, and sometimes look at all the books I have on my bookcase and think, "look at these great books" what a collections. But you know what?...someone will through them in the recyclables one day.
The E Reader will become a new "Library Hand me Down".
I my self would rather a hard copy fully stacked Library with collectable books left to me but I think one day people will be giving their fully stocked underegisterd Kindles to who they choose, for use as prepaid, without expiration.
