hmmm... i have thought about the kindle before, but have not made the switch. the instant gratification of access to a book whenever you get the urge b/c you can buy instantly is a huge bonus but the fun stuff about books, like being able to see how much you have read (which I do every time I close a book), flipping pages, and just its mere presence on the shelf are hard to let go of. what is your motivation for yo to turn to the digital reader?
