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.
Personally, I've never lost a phone or an electronic device ever as I am very careful. Crashing? Not very common with kindles according to reviews, but if that were to happen a simple reboot would do the trick. It's nice owning a copy of a book but in the end after you read it it just sits on a shelf, takes up space and collects dust.
